It's a massive weekend ahead in the combat sports world with the boxing world taking the top billing as Canelo Alvare returns to the squared circle to face Terence Crawford in Las Vegas this Saturday. While the bout has significant stakes, and is a huge fight, does it feel as big as it should just days away from the first boxing event promoted by Dana White?

On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses the matchup, the burning questions, and how well it may do on Netflix compared to this past November's Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul event. Additionally, they talk the fallout from UFC Paris, Nassourdine Imavov's big win and where he fits in the Khamzat Chimaev sweepstakes, Brian Ortega breaking his silence about the UFC Shanghai weigh cut chaos and performance against Aljamain Sterling, Noche UFC headlined by Jean Silva vs. Diego Lopes, how the card stacks up overall, and much more.

Host Mike Heck moderates the matchup between MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew and José Youngs.

No Bets Barred: Best Bets for Canelo vs. Crawford and Noche UFC

Nassourdine Imavov delivered in the main event of UFC Paris, putting him in pole position to challenge newly crowned middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev. But did he do enough to cement the spot or will the upcoming Reinier de Ridder vs. Anthony Hernandez matchup provide a true No. 1 contender?

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 Imavov after defeating fellow top contender Caio Borralho. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Benoit Saint Denis after he ran through Mauricio Ruffy in the lightweight co-main event, Modestas Bukauskas after he retired Paul Craig to win his fourth straight fight, along with fellow main card winners Mason Jones, Axel Sola, William Gomis, and more.

All that, plus listener picks to close out the show.

On To the Next One: Matches To Make After UFC Paris

Nassourdine Imavov checked off the most important box on Saturday with a dominant decision win over Caio Borralho in the main event of UFC Paris. With Dana White setting up a two-fight tryout, of sorts, to face Khamzat Chimaev in his first title defense, was Imavov's performance enough to make him the undeniable guy to face the new champion next?

Following a fun event, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to Imavov's win and performance, discuss why he might have to wait a little longer to get his first title shot, and where Borralho goes from his first UFC loss. Additionally, they discuss Benoit Saint Denis' destruction of Mauricio Ruffy in the co-main event, a record-tying 11 finishes on the card, other standout moments, and much more.

UFC Paris Post-Fight Show | Did Nassourdine Imavov's Win Do Enough To Get Khamzat Chimaev Fight?

While Nassourdine Imavov and Caio Borralho are good to go for their pivotal UFC middleweight main event at UFC Paris, one of the most exciting bouts scheduled for Saturday's card is off altogether after Losene Keita badly missed weight for his matchup with Patricio Pitbull. What does the loss of that fight do for the card overall?

Ahead of Saturday's Fight Night event at Accor Arena, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and José Youngs react to the news of the former OKTAGON champ's disastrous hiccup on the scale, and where that leaves both he and Pitbull moving forward. Additionally, they preview the Imavov vs. Borralho main event to kick off an important run for the top of the division, discuss the burning questions, if going first before the Reinier de Ridder vs. Anthony Hernandez fight at UFC Vancouver is the better spot to be in, the co-main event between Benoit Saint Denis and Mauricio Ruffy, the low-key bangers, answer listener questions and more.

UFC Paris Preview Show | Fight CANCELLED; Plus, Imavov vs. Borralho, More

While it was a rare weekend off for the UFC, it was a very busy weekend in the combat sports world, with CJI 2, DBX 3, RAF 1, and stealing the headlines, Misfits Boxing 22 — which was capped off by Darren Till brutally knocking out Luke Rockhold. What was the standout moment from this past weekend, and what are the burning questions in the aftermath?

On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel recaps the weekend that was, and answers your questions about standout moments. Additionally, topics may include Dana White announcing three big title fights for UFC 321 and UFC 322 — including Jack Della Maddalena vs. Islam Makhachev in the main event of UFC 322 at Madison Square Garden — the UFC returning to Paris this weekend for an event headlined by a pivotal middleweight matchup between Nassourdine Imavov and Caio Borralho, Tony Ferguson getting his first win in over six years, and much more.

BTL | Dana White Announces Title Fights, UFC-Less Weekend Recap, UFC Paris, More

Darren Till absolutely destroyed Luke Rockhold in the main event of Misfits Boxing 2022 on Saturday in Manchester, England, and the finish of the fight saw Till deliver one of the scariest knockouts in the boxing ring in 2025. What is next for Till, and should Saturday mark the end of the combat sports career — at least from a striking aspect — of Rockhold?

Following the event, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to the card, Till's big win, the possibility of Rockhold continuing on, and if Till vs. Carl Froch is the fight to make. Additionally, they discuss Tony Ferguson getting his first win in over six years with a very questionable TKO stoppage of Salt Papi in the co-main event, Dillon Danis making is look easy against Warren Spencer in his MMA bout, and more.

BREAKING NEWS: Dana White Announces Jack Della Maddalena vs. Islam Makhachev, Shevchenko vs. Zhang, More

UFC Shanghai is in the books, and while some things certainly happened that were newsworthy, the two biggest storylines came from the final two fights, including Brian Ortega's rough 48 hour stretch from his chaotic weigh in, to his performance against Aljamain Sterling in a lopsided five-round loss. Where does "T-City" go next, and could it be to a promotion outside of the UFC? 

On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses the fallout from the UFC's most recent Fight Night event, what happens with Ortega next, what Sterling gains from the biggest win of his featherweight run, and Johnny Walker stopping Mingyang Zhang in the main event. Additionally, topics may include Saturday's Misfits Boxing 22 event, which features Darren Till vs. Luke Rockhold, Tony Ferguson vs. Salt Papi, and Dillon Danis in an MMA fight, the Raja Jackson — the son of Rampage Jackson — incident in the pro wrestling world, and much more.

BTL | What's Next For Brian Ortega After UFC Shanghai? Plus, Walker's Big Win, Misfits 22, More

The UFC's middleweight division is in a fascinating place right now. Khamzat Chimaev is the brand new middleweight champion after dominating Dricus du Plessis at UFC 319, which has shaken up the MMA Fighting pound-for-pound rankings. With four contenders vying for the chance to face Chimaev in his first title defense, who has the best chance to get it done?

On an all-new edition of the MMA Fighting Rankings Show, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew step in for Alexander K. Lee in the hosting chair to discuss all of the changes going on in the rankings since we last spoke — including the madness at middleweight, Chimaev's rise and du Plessis' fall down the pound-for-pound rankings, and ranking who has the best shot to beat Chimaev in Nassourdine Imavov, Caio Borralho, Reinier de Riddder, and Anthony Hernandez. Additionally, they discuss where Brian Ortega now goes after a terrible week at UFC Shanghai, changes in the featherweight rankings, and who could make a low-key leap up the rankings by the end of the year.

Rankings Show: Who Has the Best Chance To Dethrone Khamzat Chimaev?

After a rare weekend off, the UFC returns to their home base for their first event since UFC 297 with UFC Vegas 85, and much like the promotion's first pay-per-view card of 2024, Saturday's Fight Night slate will see the middleweight division take center stage as Roman Dolidze and Nassourdine Imavov battle it out in the main event.
MMA Fighting's Mike Heck, Shaun Al-Shatti, and Jed Meshew preview Saturday's card, the main event between Dolidze and Imavov, and the stakes attached to it. Additionally, they'll discuss the lightweight co-main event between Renato Moicano and Drew Dober, the low-key bangers for the card, and more.
