Israel Adesanya has a chance to etch his name in history against Dricus du Plessis this weekend.

On Saturday, du Plessis defends his middleweight title against Adesanya in the main event of UFC 305 in Perth, Australia, and in a bout that has been building for over a year with bad blood. On top of that, if Adesanya wins, he will become only the second fighter in history to win an undisputed title in one weight class three times. Can Adesanya join Randy Couture in the pantheon of MMA greats, or will du Plessis establish firm control over the 185 pound division?

Ahead of this weekend's UFC pay-per-view, MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew is joined by Mike Heck to preview the big event down in Perth, including the co-main event flyweight tilt between Kai Kara-France and Steve Erceg, the lightweight scrap between Mateusz Gamrot and Dan Hooker, the heavyweight slugfest betwween Tai Tuivasa and Jairzinho Rozenstruik, and more.

Serghei Spivac made quick work of the durable veteran Marcin Tybura in the main event of UFC Vegas 95 this past Saturday night at the UFC APEX. After the win, Spivac didn't have a specific name in mind, but called for someone ranked higher, and then Jailton Almeida issued a callout of his own to Spivac. Is that the way to go for "Polar Bear" after a bounce back win?

On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss what could be next for Spivac after becoming the first fighter to submit Tybura. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Chepe Mariscal after his dominant decision win over Damon Jackson in the co-main event, Danny Barlow after defeating Nikolay Veretennikov, along with fellow main card winners Chris Gutierrez, Yana Santos, Toshiomi Kazama, and more.

Serghei Spivac bounced back in the win column impressively as he became the first fighter to ever submit Marcin Tybura in the main event of UFC Vegas 95 — while getting back one of his early UFC losses in the process. Following the quick submission win, where does Spivac go, and was it enough to save one of the toughest-to-watch fight cards of the year?

MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Eric Jackman react to Saturday's Fight Night event at the APEX, Spivac's tremendous performance, and Jailton Almeida calling him out post-fight. Additionally, topics include whether or not the event was the UFC's worst of the year, the bright spots on the card including Youssef Zalal, the awful scorecard in Danny Barlow's split decision win over Nikolay Veretennikov, and much more.
