Even following a weekend without UFC events, the MMA news cycle remains active, particularly concerning the potential main event for UFC 317, the promotion`s annual International Fight Week card in Las Vegas. With former featherweight champion Ilia Topuria recently hinting at significant news, speculation is high regarding his possible involvement in the headline bout. If Topuria isn`t the chosen fighter, what other major matchup could top the card?
A brand new installment of the “Between the Links” panel delves into this very discussion, analyzing how Topuria might fit into the picture and the challenge facing the UFC as the event approaches in just two months without a confirmed main event. The show also reviews the recent UFC Kansas City card, headlined by Ian Machado Garry vs. Carlos Prates, discusses the notable weekend bout between Eddie Hall and Mariusz Pudzianowski at KSW 105, addresses Dricus du Plessis` comments on injury rumors, and covers various other key topics in the sport.
For this special fan Q&A episode, regular host Mike Heck is joined by Jed Meshew from MMA Fighting to break down and discuss the considerable amount of recent news within the MMA landscape.
