On Episode 3,566, the guys talked about a massive rush of news from Dana White, which was the focus of today’s show.

Islam Makhachev is vacating the UFC lightweight title and is moving up to welterweight to challenge new champ Jack Della Maddalena later this year. Because of that, Ilia Topuria will fight for the vacant 155-pound title against Charles Oliveira in the main event of UFC 317 to cap off International Fight Week next month. Was this the right call?

On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel answers your questions about Dana White's blockbuster announcement at lightweight and welterweight, and what this means for the future of both divisions. Additionally, questions may include to fallout of UFC 315, Belal Muhammad's next move after losing his title to JDM this past Saturday, Dricus Du Plessis defending his middleweight title against Khamzat Chimaev at #UFC318 in Chicago, the UFC's return to the APEX headlined by Gilbert Burns vs. Michael Morales, and more.

Join MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and E. Casey Leydon for a special fan Q&A edition of the show to let your thoughts be heard in regards to all of the crazy news and results over the past week.
