So, Jon Jones is out. Like, OUT out. As in Jon Jones is retired. Or … should we say … “retired,” because ain't nobody thinks we've seen the last of this dude in a cage, a ring, or a dusty circle of dirt at some county fairgrounds. In any case, Jones' career ended (for now) the way all the great ones go out — with Dana White making a halfhearted announcement at the postfight press conference for UFC: Baku. Oh, and Jones has once again been charged with a crime — this one stemming from a February incident where he (you're never going to believe this) allegedly left the scene of an early morning car accident. And then maybe threatened to have some police officers killed? So basically, he's just out here living his best life, monetizing this amazing brand he's built. Anyway, Tom Aspinall is champ now. So that's … good? As if that wasn't enough, UFC 317 is this weekend, and Ilia Topuria is more than a 4-to-1 favorite over Charles Oliveira. What??? Learn more about your ad choices.

Two years after Tom Aspinall said he would retire Jon Jones without even fighting him, that's exactly what happened as UFC president Dana White relayed the news of Jones' exit at the UFC Baku postfight press conference. Less than one hour later, reports surfaced of a criminal summons filed in Albuquerque Metro Court accusing Jones of a misdemeanor charge of fleeing the scene of an accident in February. What does it say about Jones' true legacy that the end of such an unrivaled 17-year pro career would come in the most Jon Jones way possible? Minutes after announcing fans could expect double the amount of Dana White Contender Series cards in their next broadcasting deal, White quickly shot down any thought of Tom Aspinall vs. Francis Ngannou by disparaging Ngannou's integrity. How big would an Ngannou return be to repair all that was lost in Jones' title reign for the heavyweight division? Khalil Rountree Jr. dominated Jamahal Hill over five tactical rounds in a headlining bout to decide who's coming and who's going in the light heavyweight title picture. Rountree showed off the evolution of his maturity following a title loss to Alex Pereira by patiently picking apart Hill en route to three knockdowns and a wide victory by unanimous decision. How impressive was Rountree's performance? Plus, Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford embark upon a global press tour. And the fellas break down UFC 317 storylines.

Petesy Carroll, Chuck Mindenhall and Ben Fowlkes get the show underway by unpacking the fallout from Conor McGregor's latest nightclub scandal (4:23).It wouldn't be a Craic episode without a Jon Jones segment, and this time it's his appearance on the Nelk Boys podcast.

Merab Dvalishvili continued his dominate run in the Bantamweight division with his submission victory over Sean O'Malley at UFC 316 in a title rematch. He continues to get better with age and the fellas ponder how he can be stopped. Kayla Harrison claimed the Women's Bantamweight title defeating Julianna Peña via submission. Amanda Nunes could be next for Harrison in a highly-anticipated superfight. Patchy Mix made an underwhelming UFC debut against Mario Bautista. Is this proof that there's a huge gap between the UFC and every other MMA promotion or was Mix just outmatched? Plus drama with Keyshawn Davis after he didn't make weight and was stripped of his title when his match against Edwin De Los Santos was canceled. To top it off, he was ejected from the arena where his brother Kelvin Davis had just fought against Nahir Albright, after allegedly assaulting Albright post-match. Can Keyshawn Davis ever recover from this dreadful weekend? And Dana White revealed that Jon Jones already accepted the fight against Tom Aspinall. Will the fight actually go down this calendar year?

It's been a wild week in the world of MMA, and it began this past weekend prior to the scheduled UFC Vegas 107 main event between Erin Blanchfield and Maycee Barber, when the latter was forced to withdraw at the last minute due to a health emergency — and that was the beginning of the road to UFC 316 fight week. On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel reacts to the fallout of this past Saturday's headliner getting scratched, both fighters' comments since, and if it could be a massive fight for the UFC in the future. Additionally, they'll discuss Tom Aspinall publicly saying he's the undisputed UFC heavyweight champion and wishing Jon Jones the best in his "retirement," if the fight is officially off of life support and gone altogether, UFC 316 as a whole, if the card is good, Merab Dvalishvili vs. Sean O'Malley 2, Julianna Pena vs. Kayla Harrison and the rivalry growing by the day, and much more. Host Mike Heck moderates the matchup between MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew and multi-promotional commentator Ben "The Bane" Davis.
