April 06, 2025 On To The Next One: Matches To Make After UFC Vegas 105
Lerone Murphy didn’t deliver the most memorable performance—and it certainly wasn’t the most memorable card—but most importantly, the British featherweight contender is still undefeated after outpointing Josh Emmett in Saturday’s UFC Vegas 105 main event. Did Murphy’s victory move the needle or does he somehow sink further into matchup limbo?

On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss how Murphy can continue working his way towards a 145-pound championship shot as the division looks ahead to the vacant title bout between Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes this Saturday. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Pat Sabatini after flawlessly executing his gameplan against Joanderson Brito, debutants Chang Ho Lee and Torrez Finney, plus veteran winners Brad Tavares, Ode Osbourne, and more.

March 30, 2025 On To the Next One: Matches to make after UFC Mexico
Make it two straight wins for two-time flyweight champion Brandon Moreno following a competitive decision victory over Steve Erceg in the UFC Mexico main event. Is it time for Moreno to be booked for another title fight or should other contenders at 125 pounds get a date with Alexandre Pantoja first?

On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss whether it makes sense for Moreno to return to the title picture especially with UFC 320 announced for Sept. 13 in Mexico. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for non-stop action lightweight Manuel Torres after he scored the biggest win of his career over Drew Dober, 20-year-old Raul Rosas Jr. as he continues his impressive win streak, plus main card standouts Edgar Chairez, David Martinez, and Kevin Borjas.
