UFC Vegas 111 happened and despite a number of impressive performances, one can’t help but still feel a little cold after another sterile evening at the APEX.

Regardless, Gabriel Bonfim made the most of his first headlining opportunity, shrugging off a controversial decision win over Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson with a brutal second-round knockout of Randy Brown on Saturday. That’s four straight wins now for Bonfim, who eyes a match with Colby Covington as he tries to move closer to a top 10 spot in the always crowded welterweight division.

On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss what options are actually better for Bonfim, and break down the best and worst moments on the mic at UFC Vegas 111. Additionally, we figure out what’s the best path to a title shot for Joseph Morales in his second UFC run, and future matchups for main card winners Uros Medic, Chris “Taco” Padilla, and Christian Leroy Duncan.

We also dig deep as we make our wild card picks and ponder some fine suggestions from the listeners.

On To The Next One: Matches To Make After UFC Vegas 111

The UFC brought another APEX card to the fans on Saturday night, and once again, the lineup had its moments, but for the most part, it will be forgotten about very quickly — especially with the UFC's best efforts for a fight card in 2025 coming up next. 

Following UFC Vegas 111, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to the event, Gabriel Bonfim's win in the main event over Randy Brown, discuss whether or not the stoppage was bad by referee Mark Smith, and Bonfim's head-scratching callout of Colby Covington. Additionally, they talk about other standout moments, Josh Hokit's performance and post-fight promo, the excitement for UFC 322, and much more.

UFC Vegas 111 Preview Show | What's At Stake In Gabriel Bonfim vs. Randy Brown Headliner?

The UFC is in the headlines, but not for a reason they'd ever want to be after allegations of fight-fixing following the featherweight bout between Isaac Dulgarian and Yadier del Valle — which opened eyes with bizarre betting line movement, as well as del Valle getting an easy submission win in the first round. Dana White responded in a recent interview, but what's the reaction to the UFC CEO's comments?

On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses the situation, White's response to the situation, and where this could all go heading into the promotion's new streaming deal in 2026. Additionally, topics may include MVP cancelling the Jake Paul vs. Tank Davis event next week after a new lawsuit against Davis surfaced, the UFC returning to the APEX for an event headlined by Gabriel Bonfim and Randy Brown, Jon Jones' recent comments about Tom Aspinall's UFC 321 performance, and much more.

Fighter vs. Writer: Matt Brown REACTS to Ronda Rousey’s Comments on Joe Rogan Plus Jake Paul vs. Francis Ngannou and More

The UFC returned to the APEX for UFC Vegas 110 on Saturday, but couldn’t escape the weirdness that has plagued recent cards.

This time, it was Ante Delija getting knocked out moments after a bout was stopped and then restarted when Delija poked Waldo Cortes-Acosta in the eyes. The controversy threatened to overshadow Steve Garcia’s outstanding win over David Onama in the main event, but regardless, the UFC has two surging contenders in Garcia and Cortes-Acosta, both of whom have unclear paths to a title opportunity.

On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss what to do with Garcia—following what Mike believes is one of the worst callouts in UFC history—and Cortes-Acosta coming off of their latest knockout wins. Additionally, we discuss the Yadier del Valle win that is shrouded in controversy due to some fishy business on the Isaac Dulgarian side, and future matchups for main card winners Jeremiah Wells, Charles Radtke, and Allan Nascimento.

All that, plus wild card selections and the usual excellent assortment of listener suggestions.

UFC Vegas 110 Preview Show | Can Steve Garcia vs. David Onama Winner Be Title Threat?

While UFC 321 is in the rear-view mirror, the aftertaste has lasted a lot longer than most events we've seen this year following the eye poke from Ciryl Gane to Tom Aspinall that ended the main event in a no-contest, leaving the MMA community with more questions than answers, and a division amongst the fanbase, overall. Despite the unfortunate ending to the fight, has Aspinall's stock dropped overall, even though he was not the one who committed the foul?

On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses the fallout from the Aspinall vs. Gane fight, Dana White's comments at the post-fight press conference, Mackenzie Dern becoming the UFC strawweight champion, and much more from the most recent pay-per-view event. Additionally, topics may include Umar Nurmagomedov's victory over Mario Bautista and where he goes next, Dirty Boxing's event on Thursday night headlined by Gable Steveson vs. Billy Swanson, the UFC's return to the APEX this Saturday with Steve Garcia vs. David Onama in the headline spot, and whatever else is on your mind.

Join MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew as they answer, and debate your questions all show long.
