The world of MMA experienced a tumultuous week, kicking off last weekend just before the planned UFC Vegas 107 main event between Erin Blanchfield and Maycee Barber. Barber had to pull out unexpectedly due to a health emergency, setting the stage for the lead-up to UFC 316.
In this latest installment of Between the Links, the panel delves into the consequences of Saturday`s main event cancellation, the subsequent remarks from both athletes, and whether this matchup remains a potential major bout for the UFC down the line. Furthermore, topics include Tom Aspinall`s declaration as the undisputed UFC heavyweight champion and his comments on Jon Jones`s `retirement` – specifically, if their anticipated fight is now definitely off. The discussion also covers the overall quality of the UFC 316 card, a potential second fight between Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O’Malley, the developing rivalry between Julianna Pena and Kayla Harrison, among other subjects.
The discussion is hosted by Mike Heck, who facilitates the conversation between MMA Fighting`s Jed Meshew and veteran commentator Ben “The Bane” Davis.
