Between the Links: Ryan Garcia, Jose Aldo’s return at UFC 301, Mike Perry shines again, Paul vs. Tyson sanctioned
Another UFC pay-per-view event is upon us with UFC 301, and with the incredible UFC 300 event preceding it, the card is in an unfair position. Still, Alexandre Pantoja defends his flyweight title against Steve Erceg in the main event. Can Erceg pull off the upset, and if he does, what does that mean for the 125-pound division?
On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel previews Saturday’s championship contest in Rio de Janeiro, along with Jose Aldo’s return to the octagon in his final promotional contracted bout against Jonathan Martinez in the co-main event, and other notable storylines. Additionally, they’ll discuss Ryan Garcia reportedly failing a pair of VADA drug tests in relation to his upset win over Devin Haney, Mike Perry’s quick knockout of Thiago Alves at BKFC KnuckleMania 4, what could be next for him, Conor McGregor becoming a part owner of that promotion, the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing match being sanctioned as a pro bout, and more.
Host Mike Heck and MMA Fighting’s José Youngs answer your questions on a special Q&A episode.
