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.
