  • Alex Pereira's rise in the #UFC may be an unprecedented one for the promotion in their 26th year, and he added to his legend with a brutal second-round knockout of Jiri Prochazka in the main event of #UFC303. After his second title defense of the year, should Pereira remain at 205, or make the move up to heavyweight?
    On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel recaps Pereira's big win, if a fight with Jon Jones for the heavyweight title should be on the table, or if Pereira remains at 205 to fight Magomed Ankalaev. Additionally, topics include the short notice co-main event between Diego Lopes and Dan Ige, other highlights from the card, Jorge Masvidal vs. Nate Diaz 2 in the boxing ring this Saturday, and more,
    Host Mike Heck moderates the matchup between #MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew and Eric Jackman. Show goes LIVE Tuesday at 11 a.m. ET / 8 a.m. PT.

    I would argue Lopes deserves more credit for the fight. Short notice fight, short notice weight change in the middle of the night, short notice fight again and was offered his full pay without fighting but decided to decline and earn his pay.

      They’re so right though. If the main is a hit, the card feels like it was much better. I was hovering around a C probably but when you factor in the co main drama and the finish by Poatan, it’s easily a B+ for me

    Alex chasing title defenses does nothing for Alex's "all time great" career. At 37 years old no one will catch-up to Jones' 13 title defense record. On top of that, Ankalaev isn't the wrestler people who demand Alex to stay at LHW think he is. I'm convinced whoever thinks Ankalaev is an exceptional wrestler has never followed his career. Magomed averages 1 td per 15 minutes of fight time, and has a 31% success rate, with zero submissions and has about 1 finish due to ground and pound (in the UFC). Everyone is clearly caught into the hype that Magomed is Dagastani. Even if Alex fights Blaydes, that would be a much harder test for Alex. Curtis has 5x the avg of tds that Magomed has with 50% of success rate.

      @@josephboza7448 Lmao I couldn't remember the last thing I've heard Joe Rogan say, and could care less for any of his takes, commentary, or podcast. Of course I don't want to see Stipe fight anyone, let alone for the HW title. If I remember correctly you're the guy who spams comments about moving up to HW because Alex is "SCARED" of Ankalaev... such a ridiculous statement it's hard to take anything you say serious after that.

    Mmmm ever tried looking at ali's twitter? You should because the guy is incapable of writing anything good and it always feels full of bs, which is the complete opposite of Islam's twitter who feels the same as Islam infront of cameras.
    Ali is just not very good with words and you can see it even in his interviews.
    The Hachiko tweet Islam roasted chandler with for example is impossible to have come from Ali he just isn't educated or cleaver enough to come up with something like that.
    Early on some people also thought it was ali everytime khabib was spitting pure fire on twitter until the day the whole world realized khabib was actually surprising great at trash talking whether on the mic or Twitter.

    Gane is a very bad fight for Pereira. Gane has been excellent against strikers, and though his grappling is terrible compared to Jones, he could use it against Alex to tire him out against the cage if he needed to, he'd be much too strong and athletic.

    Poatan should fight who ever has the belt it doesn't really needs to be jon jones, and if he fails at his first try at 3 division champion than he should go kill gane or aspinall to secure a second chance at the heavyweight belt thats how you manage your carer perfectly. Take notes eric and learn how its done.
    Eric takes on poatan were so bad its actually impressive.
