Mateusz Gamrot outlasted a fellow high-level lightweight in Arman Tsarukyan to cap off UFC Vegas 57. With the biggest win of his career under his belt, where does the former KSW double champ go from Saturday night?

On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee attempt to answer that very interesting question from a matchmaking perspective after an incredible main event. In addition, future matchups are discussed for the event’s biggest standout Shavkat Rakhmonov following his incredible performance in submitting Neil Magny in the co-main event, Josh Parisian after his second-round comeback TKO win over Alan Baudot, along with Thiago Moises — who submitted Christos Giagos in the first round — Umar Nurmagomedov, Chris Curtis, and more.

The UFC Vegas 57 main event between Mateusz Gamrot and Arman Tsarukyan will go down as one of the most high-level UFC Fight Night main event's in quite some time, but as great as that fight was, the story of the night came from the co-main event winner, Shavkat Rakhmonov.

MMA Fighting's Mike Heck, José Youngs, and Jed Meshew react to Gamrot's unanimous decision win over Tsarukyan and discuss the extremely high ceilings for both lightweight contenders. In addition, they talk Rakhmonov's destruction of Neil Magny in the co-main event and what could be next for the undefeated welterweight prospect, and other storylines coming out of Saturday's event at the APEX.

UFC president Dana White was given the opportunity to respond to Nate Diaz's request to get a fight this summer, or a release, as well as the popular fighter teasing a future bout with Jake Paul. With White suggesting Diaz should go face Paul in the boxing ring, does that mean the UFC will cut Diaz loose?

On a special Wednesday edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck reacts to White's comments about Diaz and wonders why the UFC doesn't just give Diaz what he wants and set him free to pursue any opportunity he wants outside of the promotion. In addition, listeners as questions about UFC Vegas 57 this Saturday, the UFC's bantamweight division, if Sean O'Malley vs. Adrian Yanez is the fight to make if O'Malley is successful against Pedro Munhoz at UFC 276, Israel Adesanya's recent comments about Alex Pereira, and much more.
