BREAKING: UFC To End Pay-Per-View Model With New $7.7 Billion Paramount+ Deal

Anthony Hernandez made it look easy against the very tough Roman Dolidze in the main event of UFC Vegas 109 to add another wrinkle to the already loaded up middleweight title picture. Was the performance from "Fluffy" enough to get him a title shot or a No. 1 contender fight, or will he need a couple of more wins to get there?

On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss what's next for Hernandez after submitting Dolidze in the fourth round to pick up his eighth straight victory. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Steve Erceg after defeating Ode Osbourne in the co-main event, Iasmin Lucindo following her decision win over Angela Hill, along with fellow main card winners, Andre Fili, Jean Matsumoto, Christian Leroy Duncan, and more.

All that and another fine selection of listener picks.

On To the Next One | Matches To Make After UFC Vegas 109

Anthony Hernandez may have had the best overall performance in the UFC octagon as he destroyed Roman Dolidze in a lopsided beatdown in the main event of UFC Vegas 109. Could "Fluffy" find his way in a title eliminator next, perhaps, against Reinier de Ridder next following the performance of his career?

Following Saturday's card, MMA Fighting 's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to the event, the incredible performance from Hernandez in the headliner, and where both fighters go from here. Additionally, they react to the bonus winners, Elijah Smith's frightening slam knockout victory during the preliminary portion of the card, Steve Erceg getting back in the win column, and much more.

UFC Vegas 109 Post-Fight Show | Reaction To Anthony Hernandez Running Over Roman Dolidze

Anthony Hernandez just keeps winning, but can’t seem to make much headway in the crowded middleweight contender line. Is there anything he can do in the UFC Vegas 109 main event to change the minds of the matchmakers?

Facing off with Hernandez is Roman Dolidze, a hardened veteran seeking to sneak into the title picture himself. Dolidze has never been finished, so if Hernandez is looking for an exclamation point to put on his contender statement, he might have to do something no fighter has done before and put Dolidze away inside the distance.

Ahead of this weekend’s UFC Fight Night event, MMA Fighting’s Alexander K. Lee and José Youngs preview the the middleweight headliner between Hernandez and Dolidze, and where they might stand Monday with several stars in their division set to compete in the coming months. Additionally, they discuss Friday’s weight-cut drama, one-time title challenger Steve Erceg looking to avoid a fourth straight loss, the ageless Angela Hill, what fights to look for on the prelims, and much more.

UFC Vegas 109 Preview Show: Can Anthony Hernandez Muscle His Way Into Title Picture?

UFC star Conor McGregor hasn't competed in over four years, but with the former two-division champ officially back in the testing pool, does that enhance the belief that the sport's biggest star ever will actually compete inside the octagon in 2026? 

On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses that topic — if you choose it to be talked about — and the confidence levels in a possible McGregor return to active competition. Additionally, topics may include Tatsuro Taira destroying Hyun Sung Park in the main event of UFC Vegas 108 and the Fight of the Year contenders that preceded that contest, the countdown heating up ahead of the UFC 319 main event between Dricus du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev, the UFC being back at the APEX once again this Saturday for UFC Vegas 109 headlined by Anthony Hernandez vs. Roman Dolidze, and much more.

Host Mike Heck moderates the matchup — with a Q&A twist — between MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew and José Youngs.
