July 21, 2022HOAM | What If Nate Diaz Beats Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 279?
The booking of the final fight on Nate Diaz's UFC contract has been met with mixed reviews, as he's targeted to face Khamzat Chimaev in the main event of UFC 279 in September. The question is: why all of the outrage?
On an all-new episode of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck gives his thoughts on the matchup between Diaz and Chimaev, while also explaining why it's absolutely the correct fight to make. In addition, listener topics include what would happen if Diaz were to pull off the major upset, the incredible looking UFC 280 card — now with the additions of Aljamain Sterling vs. T.J. Dillashaw, Petr Yan vs. Sean O'Malley, and Beneil Dariush vs. Mateusz Gamrot — where Conor McGregor fits for his return, what fight could co-main event UFC 279, 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.

July 17, 2022On To the Next One | Matches To Make After UFC Long Island
The UFC's featherweight division now has some question marks following the main event of UFC Long Island where Yair Rodriguez got a first-round stoppage win against Brian Ortega, but not in the fashion he would've preferred.

In addition, future matchups are discussed for Amanda Lemos, Li Jingliang, Matt Schnell, Shane Burgos, Lauren Murphy, and more.

July 15, 2022UFC Long Island Preview Show | Can Brian Ortega Get Alexander Volkanovski Rematch With Emphatic Win?
While most believe that a win for Yair Rodriguez in the main event of UFC Long Island will earn him a title shot against Alexander Volkanovski, could an emphatic victory for Brian Ortega get him right back into a UFC featherweight championship opportunity.
Ahead of the promotion’s return to New York, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck, Alexander K. Lee, and Eric Jackman discuss the stakes of Saturday’s headliner for both competitors — and where that could leave Josh Emmett who believes he should be the rightful No. 1 contender in the division. In addition, they discuss Miesha Tate’s flyweight debut and if fans are overlooking one-time title challenger Lauren Murphy, if Tate will get a title shot against Valentina Shevchenko with a win, other notable bouts, and more.
