On today's episode of Good Guy/Bad Guy, Daniel & Chael recap a loaded fight night from Qatar this past weekend that saw two contenders rise to the top. First, did Arman Tsarukyan do enough to officially cement himself as Ilia Topuria's next opponent for the lightweight championship? If not Arman, then who... and if not Arman, than what else does Arman need to do to finally get a crack at the title? In the co main event, Ian Machado Garry reigned victorious over Belal Muhammad and called for a shot at Islam Makhachev for his first title defense of the welterweight crown. There are a ton of contenders vying for the shot at the champion, so no better time for DC to break out his match-making skills. Then, ahead of WWE Survivor Series this saturday, "Dirty" Dom Mysterio joins the show as he gets ready to seek revenge on John Cena.

Jim and Matt kick off the show with British bantamweight Davey Grant, who joins live from the UFC Performance Institute as a brand-new Las Vegas resident. Fresh off rehabbing a torn bicep and injured nose, Davey talks about settling into life stateside, training his kids at Syndicate MMA, and why moving to America has changed the way he studies the sport — including watching fights live with a pen and paper to stay sharp on evolving MMA trends.

The guys then unpack all the biggest storylines from UFC Qatar, where Matt takes a well-earned victory lap after going 2–0 in his picks — correctly calling Arman Tsarukyan’s arm-triangle finish and Volkan Oezdemir’s stoppage win.

Later, women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko joins the show to discuss balancing her pursuit of all-time greatness with her creative “side quests,” from acting roles to drawing on her degree in film direction. With several options in front of her, Valentina reveals she’s keeping a close eye on a potential trilogy with Amanda Nunes — especially now that the Lioness has expressed interest in meeting her again, this time at 125 pounds.

Finally, in the wake of Ian Machado Garry’s statement decision win, which capped off two straight weeks of top-flight welterweight action, Jim and Matt close the show by debating which 170-pound contender has earned the next shot at Islam Makhachev’s welterweight title.

We start off this week's show talking about the results of UFC Fight Night: Tsarukyan vs. Hooker, and how many options there are for UFC Lightweight and Welterweight title fights right now.

Then we just talk about random trash and drama for a while.

Arman Tsarukyan believes he has done enough to challenge Ilia Topuria for the UFC lightweight title following his incredible performance against Dan Hooker in the main event of UFC Qatar. Will the UFC reward Tsarukyan with a title shot, or will Tsarukyan have to wait and watch Paddy Pimblett get the shot at Topuria first?

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 Tsarukyan after submitting Dan Hooker in Saturday's main event. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Ian Machado Garry after defeating former welterweight champ Belal Muhammad in the co-main event, along with fellow main card winners Volkan Oezdemir, Myktybek Orolbai, Waldo Cortes-Acosta, Kyoji Horiguchi, and more.

Plus, a slew of listener matchmaking suggestions to close out the show.

At UFC Qatar, Arman Tsarukyan didn’t merely batter and submit Dan Hooker in the main event, he showed a vastly improved depth and well-roundness of skill. It was so impressive, in fact, that I just don’t see how any fight can be next for UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria other than Tsarukyan.

In my UFC Qatar post-fight show, I discuss Tsarukyan’s best-ever UFC performance, what I’m vexed by Ian Garry’s game, the UFC return of Kyoji Horiguchi and so much more.
