The light heavyweight title is on the line at UFC 320 next week, but the UFC Perth main event could produce a surprising No. 1 contender.

Carlos Ulberg takes on Dominick Reyes on Saturday and while the two have taken vastly different paths to get to this spot, what they have in common are a string of results that have pushed them towards title contention. Will the surging Ulberg make it nine straight wins to force the matchmakers to consider a fresh challenger, or will the resurgent Dominick Reyes continue his storybook march towards a second championship opportunity?

Ahead of Saturday's Fight Night event at RAC Arena, MMA Fighting's Alexander K. Lee and Jed Meshew figure out where Ulberg and Reyes fit in the picture with Magomed Ankalaev, Alex Pereira, Jiri Prochazka, and Khalil Rountree all in action soon, plus what to make of a 13-fight card that has struggled to sell tickets and to capture the attention of fans. Additionally, the crew debates whether Neil Magny is a future Hall of Fame inductee, who has the chance to steal the show, and we take listener questions and comments.

UFC CEO Dana White took his talents to the boxing world for Canelo vs. Crawford this past Saturday, which was capped off by Terence Crawford's masterpiece against Canelo Alvarez to capture the undisputed super middleweight title in Las Vegas.

Additionally, topics may include Ilia Topuria calling out Crawford, but it falling on deaf ears, the fallout of Noche UFC, Diego Lopes crazy win over Jean Silva in the main event, if the card delivered, Anthony Hernandez getting scratched from the UFC Vancouver main event with Reinier de Ridder and the effect that has on the middleweight division, and more.

Diego Lopes isn’t stepping out of the championship contender picture just yet.

With a resounding win over Jean Silva in Saturday’s Noche UFC main event, Lopes kept himself in line for another shot at the featherweight title he fell short of capturing this past April. But just how much closer is he to going another five rounds with Alexander Volkanovski?

On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss what's next for Lopes as he looks to further separate himself from a crowded 145-pound pack that includes rivals Movsar Evloev and Yair Rodriguez, and former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for the fast-rising David Martinez, surging lightweights Alexander Hernandez and Rafa Garcia, and 21-year-old debutant Santiago Luna.

Plus, what to do with Kelvin Gastelum after another weight miss debacle, and listener picks to close out the show.
