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.
