  • On To the Next One | Is Jared Cannonier vs. Khamzat Chimaev the Fight To Make After UFC Vegas 75?

    Jared Cannonier delivered one of the best performances of his career in his main event victory over Marvin Vettori at Saturday's UFC Vegas 75. With the road back to a title shot with Israel Adesanya likely a long one, could Cannonier make it a bit shorter by facing Khamzat Chimaev next?

    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 Cannonier following his record-breaking showing against Vettori at the APEX. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Arman Tsarukyan following his third-round TKO win over Joaquim Silva in the co-main event, Armen Petrosyan after handing Christian Leroy Duncan his first loss, Manuel Torres following his vicious finish of Lucas Almeida, along with fellow main card winners Pat Sabatini, Nicolas Dalby, and more.

      • HOAM | Conor McGregor In Trouble Again, What Does This Mean For His Future?

        Conor McGregor’s career could be in jeopardy following sexual assault accusations stemming from an alleged incident that took place at the NBA Finals in Miami last Friday. This isn’t the first time that McGregor’s name has been tied to such allegations, so could this be the incident that forces the UFC to make a decision on his fighting future?

        On a Free-For-All-Friday edition of Heck of a Morning, guest host Alexander K. Lee talks about the McGregor situation and what this means for The Ultimate Fighter 31 and his expected matchup with Michael Chandler, plus what to make of the trio of major fights announced Thursday, including Max Holloway vs. “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung. We also answer questions about Charles Oliveira’s GOAT argument and what we can expect in an Islam Makhachev rematch, Holloway potentially fighting one of the upcoming “BMF” title challengers Justin Gaethje or Dustin Poirier, Ian Machado Garry’s step-up fight against Geoff Neal, whether fighters should wear shirts and have more sponsorship opportunities, and more.

        You can listen live to Heck of a Morning Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 10 a.m. ET on the MMA Fighting Twitter Spaces.

        • BTL | UFC 289 Fallout, Nunes Retires, Oliveira Shines, Weekend Tripleheader, More

          UFC 289 is in the books, and will go down to most in the MMA community as a card that exceeded expectations, and also saw one of the best to ever compete inside the UFC's octagon calling it a career after a dominant final title defense.

          On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses the aftermath of this past Saturday's pay-per-view event, Amanda Nunes retiring following her win over Irene Aldana, and where the women's 135-pound division goes from here. Additionally, topics include Charles Oliveira's first-round finish of Beneil Dariush and if the rematch for the lightweight title with Islam Makhachev is the fight to make, Bellator 297 this Friday, featuring Patricio Pitbull's quest to become a three-division champion, if it's the best card of the weekend, plus UFC Vegas 75, PFL 5, and more.

          Host Mike Heck moderates the matchup between MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew and Alexander K. Lee.

          • Bellator 297 | UFC Vegas 75 | PFL 5 Preview Show | Which Promotion Has Best Lineup This Weekend?

            There will be a lot of mixed martial arts action this weekend from three of the biggest promotions on the planet with Bellator 297 and PFL 5 on Friday, while the UFC returns to the APEX on Saturday night. Which card will have your attention the most?

            MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jose Youngs preview Bellator 297, UFC Vegas 75, and PFL 5, and make the case for Bellator having the best lineup of the three — which includes Vadim Nemkov vs. Yoel Romero in the main event for the light heavyweight title, while Patricio Pitbull will look to become a three-division Bellator champ as he challenges Sergio Pettis for the bantamweight title. They'll also discuss Saturday's UFC Fight Night event, headlined by Marvin Vettori vs. Jared Cannonier, why that's the kind of main event the UFC should be making more often, the card being pretty good compared to past APEX offerings, PFL's next regular season event, Larissa Pacheco not headlining, and more.

            • HOAM | Confidence Levels In Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler, Makhachev vs. Oliveira 2

              There's a massive fight on the table between TUF 31 coaches Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler, but with Dana White's recent comments, McGregor not being in the USADA pool just yet, amongst others, do you have a lot of confidence in this fight being made?

              On an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck gives his thoughts on whether or not the bout takes place before the end of the year. Additionally, listener topics include the confidence levels in Charles Oliveira getting a lightweight championship rematch with Islam Makhachev after his UFC 289 performance against Beneil Dariush, Arman Tsarukyan's seemingly long road towards title contention, the UFC Vegas 75 main event between Marvin Vettori and Jared Cannonier, predictions for UFC pay-per-view main events for the final stretch of 2023, and much more.

              You can listen live to Heck of a Morning Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 10 a.m. ET on the MMA Fighting Twitter Spaces.

                • HOAM | Reaction To 'Embarrassing' Floyd Mayweather Boxing Card, Fun UFC 289 Event

                  While UFC 289 exceeded expectations on Saturday night, Sunday's Floyd Mayweather headlined boxing card was the exact opposite for more than just the post-main event shenanigans that took place between the teams of Mayweather and John Gotti III.

                  On an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck reacts to UFC 289, including the big wins for the now-retired Amanda Nunes, and Charles Oliveira — who stopped Beneil Dariush in the co-main event — as well as the "embarrassing" Mayweather vs. Gotti III boxing event. Additionally, listener questions include the women's GOAT discussion now that Nunes has retired and where "The Lioness" ranks compared to Bellator champ Cris Cyborg, if Oliveira will end up getting the rematch with Islam Makhachev next, if anyone can sneak in and take the shot from "Du Bronx," the UFC women's bantamweight division that currently doesn't have a champion, and much more.

                  You can listen live to Heck of a Morning Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 10 a.m. ET on the MMA Fighting Twitter Spaces.

                • Fighter vs. Writer Reacts to Amanda Nunes’ Retirement, Floyd Mayweather’s Exhibitions and the Possibility of Matt Brown vs. Jim Miller at UFC 300

                  On the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer, Matt Brown and Damon Martin debate the latest topics in MMA including Amanda Nunes’ retirement after defending her bantamweight title at UFC 289.

                  Perhaps more than any other single fighter in MMA history, Nunes has defined herself as the greatest of all time among the women’s divisions but is she really done after such a one-sided victory over Irene Aldana?

                  Where does the bantamweight division go from here without Nunes around?

                  Plus we’ll discuss Floyd Mayweather’s latest exhibition bout gone wrong after he ended up in a brawl with John Gotti III and his entourage following their match on Sunday night.

                  Brown will also counter Daniel Cormier’s argument about Jim Miller not being UFC Hall of Fame material while also responding to a potential matchup against Miller at UFC 300.

                  All this and more on the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer.
