Fighter vs Writer: Matt Brown BLASTS Commission After Dan Miragliotta’s Refereeing Blunder, UFC 321 Preview and More

Brendan Allen went into his short notice opportunity against Reinier de Ridder in the main event of UFC Vancouver with incredible confidence, and it showed as he dominated de Ridder to earn a corner stoppage TKO. Following the win, Allen called out Khamzat Chimaev, Dricus du Plessis and Sean Strickland, but will he get either of those names?

On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss what's next for Allen after picking up the biggest win of his career. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Mike Malott following his strange decision win over Kevin Holland in the co-main event, Aiemann Zahabi after his split decision win against Marlon Vera, Manon Fiorot following her quick knockout of Jasmine Jasudavicius, along with fellow main card winners Charles Jourdain and Kyle Nelson. 

Plus, an out-of-the-box pick for de Ridder, listener picks, and much more.

On To the Next One | Matches To Make After UFC Vancouver

Brendan Allen picked up the biggest win of his career in the main event of UFC Vancouver. But as impressive as Allen's performance was against Reinier de Ridder, the biggest story of the night was referee Dan Miragliotta in not one, but two fights — most notably, the co-main event between Mike Malott and Kevin Holland.

Following a strange and weird UFC Fight Night event, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to how it all went down, Allen's TKO win over de Ridder and the big takeaways, and where both fighters could go next. Additionally, they discuss the rough night for Miragliotta and if anything will ever change with officiating in MMA, Malott's win over Holland, Aiemann Zahabi getting his seventh straight win, Manon Fiorot's destruction of Jasmine Jasudavicius, and much more.

UFC Vancouver Post-Fight Show | Reaction To Brendan Allen Stopping Reinier de Ridder, Referee Blunders

The UFC middleweight division has gotten very interesting over the past several months, and with Khamzat Chimaev as champion, the big questions is who will the undefeated fighter face in his first title defense. Reinier de Ridder was set up with a perfect opportunity to get that slot, but after Anthony Hernandez was injured, Brendan Allen steps in. Does a win for "RDR" over Allen put him in the driver's seat?

Ahead of Saturday's UFC Vancouver event, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and José Youngs preview the card, the pivotal 185-pound headliner, and what is at stake for the de Ridder and Allen. Additionally, they discuss Kevin Holland's fifth fight booking of the year against Mike Malott, Chito Vera looking to halt the momentum of Aiemann Zahabi, other notable matchups, and much more.

UFC Vancouver Preview Show | Is Reinier de Ridder Next For Khamzat Chimaev With Main Event Win?

Earlier this week, UFC CEO Dana White made some big announcements as it relates to December's UFC 323 event — the final pay-per-view card under the ESPN banner before the shift to Paramount — and revealed that Merab Dvalishvili will attempt to defend his bantamweight title for the fourth time. If he's successful against Petr Yan, is Dvalishvili's 2025 the best year for a fighter in UFC history?

On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel reacts to White announcing Dvalishvili vs. Yan 2, and Alexandre Pantoja vs. Josh Van for the flyweight title. Additionally, topics may include Charles Oliveira's big win over Mateusz Gamrot at UFC Rio and callout of Max Holloway for the BMF title, the revised Ali Act getting support from CSAC, Saturday's UFC Vancouver event headlined by Reinier de Ridder vs. Brendan Allen, and much more.

BTL | Dana White's Title Fight Announcements, Merab's Attempt At History, RDR vs. Allen

Is Reinier de Ridder fighting for a title shot this weekend?

This Saturday, UFC Vancouver goes down in The Great White North, headlined by a middleweight main event matchup between two-division ONE champion Reinier de Ridder and short notice replacement Brendan Allen. De Ridder was supposed to take on Anthony Hernandez in a functional title eliminator, but now that he’s out, will a win over Allen get RDR the same opportunity? No Bets Barred is here to break it all down.

This week, host Jed Meshew flies solo, taking a look at all things UFC Vancouver. Topics discussed include RDR's chances to keep his run alive and maybe sneak into a title shot, whether Kevin Holland is on the decline and if Mike Malott can take advantage, Jasmine Jasudavicius and her shot at upsetting Manon Fiorot, the return of Chito Vera, the next step of The Climb, and more.

Tune in for episode 140 of No Bets Barred.

REACTION | Dana White Announces Merab vs. Yan 2, Pantoja vs. Van For UFC 323

Charles Oliveira once again proved to be invincible when fighting in his native Brazil and the future Hall of Famer kept himself in line for more big matchups in the future.

Could it be a long-awaited rematch with Max Holloway with the “BMF” title on the line? Is he the one to slow Paddy Pimblett’s role? Or is there another fight in Oliveira’s future that can set him up for one last shot at the undisputed lightweight championship,

On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Alexander K. Lee mans the ship with a huge helping hand from the listeners as they discuss what’s next for “do Bronx” after a crowd-pleasing submission Mateusz Gamrot. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Deiveson Figueiredo, who shut down the streaking Montel Jackson in the co-main event, plus what’s next for Joel Alvarez, Mario Pinto, Kaan Ofli, Bia Mesquita, and more.

On To The Next One: What’s Next For UFC Rio Winners?

Charles Oliveira made it look easy against Mateusz Gamrot in the main event of UFC Rio, delivering a pillar-to-post performance en route to a second-round submission victory to get back in the win column. After the fight, Oliveira called for a BMF title fight against Max Holloway, and the MMA community seems to agree.

Following a wild Fight Night card on Saturday night in Brazil, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee react to the event, Oliveira's performance, and callout of Holloway for a second meeting in the octagon. Additionally, they discuss Deiveson Figueiredo's decision win over Montel Jackson in the co-main event, if the title hopes for Gamrot and Jackson are officially gone, strange referee moments throughout the event — including the controversial first round in the Joel Alvarez decision win over Vicente Luque — and much more.
