Ahead of UFC 310, Kai Asakura is getting an immediate title shot at Alexandre Pantoja after being Rizin champion. Makes sense right? Champ vs champ is a fun idea. Well the UFC is pretty inconsistent about this. Actually, it's way more common for the UFC to deny a title shot for champions coming directly over even when it's made a ton of sense.

Ever saw a title fight get booked in the UFC and thought to yourself.... wait, who? Maybe you knew all of these fighters due to your hardcore fandom, but for most fans, they certainly didn't know or knew very little about these title challengers. In the wake of Steve Erceg's title challenge against Alexandre Pantoja, we just had to explore the topic.
Nothing better than an undefeated UFC record right? Tons of hype, hopefully a ton of great finishes? Well... not in every case. We start from the worst down to the best ever of the undefeated fighters that made it all the way to a title shot with their '0' in tact.

2023 was an absolute madhouse for UFC Title changes, so this year we try to see if we can predict who holds on until 2025, what do you think?
It's kind of crazy how many world champions these guys took out even though they never won a UFC title.
With all the exciting action this weekend, could this spell the end of Belal's title quest? Leon Edwards vs Colby Covington, Stephen Thompson vs Shavkat Rakhmonov all could create major issues for Belal Muhammad at UFC 296.

On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim and Matt are joined by two guest callers in SiriusXM radio host Jimmy Smith and welterweight contender Belal Muhammad. Jim and Matt kick off the show with a conversation with former MMA fighter turned fight analyst and host Jimmy Smith, who chats with the guys about what it's like hosting three-hour episodes of his “Unlocking the Cage” show every weekday on SiriusXM channel 156. Smith wraps up his insightful interview with an idea of what steps former featherweight champion Max Holloway can take to fight his way back to a fourth title shot against rival and current titleholder Alexander Volkanovski. Jim and Matt run through the rest of last Saturday's UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs. Allen card with analysis on an exciting night of fights in Kansas City before fourth-ranked welterweight Belal Muhammad eventually hops on the call. Firmly believing that he deserves a title shot as soon as possible, Belal discusses his current eight-fight win streak and teases the possibility of a big-time co-main event against a notable welterweight contender on short notice at UFC 288.

With Colby Covington keeping the next move of his fighting career close to the vest, it appears the UFC is hoping to book a huge fight between the former interim champion and Khamzat Chimaev. In the current state of the welterweight division, does Covington need that fight to earn that third crack at undisputed gold? On an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck attempts to answer whether or not Covington needs a win over Chimaev to get to a championship opportunity, or if another Leon Edwards win over Kamaru Usman in 2023 could potentially slot "Chaos" right in there.

Charles Oliveira is no longer the UFC lightweight champion. In a historic turn of events, Oliveira became the first champion to lose his UFC title on the scale after missing weight on Friday at UFC 274's official weigh-ins. Oliveira tipped the scales at 155.5 pounds on his first attempt, then hit 155.5 pounds again after being given another hour to make weight. As a result, the UFC lightweight title has officially been vacated and Oliveira will not be eligible to win it on Saturday at UFC 274. MMA Fighting's Shaun Al-Shatti and Jose Youngs react in Phoenix to Oliveira's historic weight miss ahead of his UFC 274 fight against Justin Gaethje.
