BTL | Whittakaer vs. Chimaev, Moreno Taking Break, Dana White Hints At U.K. Pay-Per-View,
It's been an interesting week in the #MMA world as the #UFC gets ready to return to Atlantic City on the road to #UFC300 - which includes Dana White hinting at bringing a pay-per-view event to the United Kingdom this year. If it happens, who should be featured on the card?
On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel takes live viewer questions about the promotion's return to the U.K., if Leon Edwards and Tom Aspinall will defend their belts in front of their home crowds, and who else could fill up the lineup. Additionally, they'll answer questions about topics such as #UFCSaudiArabia getting a slew of fights announced, including Robert Whittaker vs. Khamzat Chimaev as the main event, former flyweight champ Brandon Moreno announcing he's taking a break from MMA and what that means for the division in the short term, Saturday's #UFCAtlanticCity card headlined by Erin Blanchfield vs. Manon Fiorot, Rose Namajunas' big win at #UFCVegas89 and where she goes from here, and whatever else you would like to discuss.
Join MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew as they answer your questions all show long. Show goes LIVE Thursday at 12:30 p.m. ET / 9:30 a.m. PT.

This show is so much better without ak. Lee. Thank you.
Don't spread hate there is already lots of hate ....SPREAD POSITIVITY
@@fahimdoulatzai6962 fair, instead I would say this then: " I really enjoy this choice of cast on screen. I find it to be the most entertaining version of the show."
@@logansnow7881 that's better..
@@logansnow7881Stop crying.
Agreed
Khamzat should rematch usman in a 5 rnder full canp usman😂😂😂 goes the other way for sure
Khamzat winning the title would be cool, except for the fact that he would only defend it MAYBE once a year if we're lucky.
the disrespect to the vanilla gorilla chase Sherman at ufc apex 100 is top tier matchmaking cmon guys
Rob v kazat is a good fight but does nothing for both! Izzy v kmzat should off happened , sean rematch v ddp
Jed yet again carrying the entire program. Jed = GOAT. #KeepCaseyOffCam/Mic
They all bring something different to the table.....Casey, Mike, AK, Sean. Jed is my favourite for his arguments and rhetorical skills. It must be the lawyer in him.
Jed brings in the truth n the others puss out
casey causes me physical pain
That’s the hope.
@e.caseyleydon2560 if that's your job, bravo you're doing wonderful! If your job is to deliver concise, accurate and uncringey MMA takes, then you should've been fired months ago.
@@noxzy69 I sent this to HR and I got a raise. OSS.
Just want to throw out that Whittaker stated on his podcast that the UFC offered this fight as a number one contender fight and Dana did the same. Not sure why Jed doesnt know lol
ytppoppp 😊
While criticizing the UFC: "Money is undefeated", for themselves a few minutes later: "we will do anything for a superchat extra dollar" LMAO😂😂
Good to see Kacey speaking out like Jed, quite surprising!! Welldone Kace, yes the ufc has officially hit a new dark path off not giving a f about location off fights now that the law suites done😂
Pay attention to the amount of audible saliva in Casey E. Leydon and Jed Meshew’s mouths when they start to speak. Jed has decided he’s gonna open his mouth so that you clearly hear it every time he gets the word and Casey is literally just smacking his mouth into the mic even when someone else talks. Just start paying attention to how insanely consistently they do it.
Shouts to boyzzzz at MMA Hour for their generosity with todays gift 🎁
Casey should stop his mma career with this performence
I’ve kinda given up on caring why ufc does the things they do some days. I dunno ufc just does things because well, they have lots of lots of cards to fill and masters to please
Again meshew going off on a point that they arent making. No one siad light weight isnt the best division they were simply saying which division is being propped up at the moment.
1) the fighter who thought they won was Charles jourdain 😢 2) Perth makes sense because it’s one of the closest markets to South Africa, home of the champion and a market they want to develop. Makes much more sense to have Izzy vs dricus is Perth than sao paolo which would be the other closest place when South Africa is not an option
I guess Riyadh is closer lol but my point stands
If it's not in africa/south Africa then it doesn't matter where they have the fight period. And they better not do it Australia, I💤y is lucky he's getting a shot at all so they better not cater to having it there at all. Where every they decide it I hope they ask DDP out of these 2 options where would you like out of these 2. I know the ufc doesn't care what ddp thinks I would like to think he has some input. But this whole we can't do it in South Africa so let's do it to a country that's close is just stupid. lol. The fights going to sell out where ever it is they always do and if they threw the fight in America the pov sells would go uo even more cause its further away if anything.
@@NeoValeTudoOne of the closest markets to South Africa.....😂 Dude, stop.
@@GWFHegel-ms7gz look at the globe and tell me one that’s closer besides in Brazil, there has literally never been a ufc event in Africa
@@NeoValeTudo Brazil (which you acknowledge) means it isn't the closest. They have an upcoming show in Saudi Arabia. That's closer. Dubai is closer. Parts of France, where they've had shows too, are closer. And Spain, where they want to go, is closer. What did I name you? 5 countries that are closer? And even they are so far away that proximity means absolutely nothing. The whole point makes no sense. It's like saying let's have a show in Paraguay because it's close to the Canadian market.
@nikeheck_jr your on fire 🔥 today. Thank you for being based today with being lecel headed with your takes correcting meshew with his takes 💯
@jedmeshew because gane pubically said he didnt want to fight sergei..... thats why 😂
Now I don't know why he thinks he's in line for the title and says he's not going to fight down where the 1 or 2 spot but he did. @mikeheck_jr thanks for the 2 corrections with jed being short sighted. And the ufc is absolutely petty so again meshew answered his own question, yes the ufc is petty so he will get Almeida and gane publicly said he didn't want to fight Sergei yet meshew still says he didn't say no. Trust there's a reason why volcov has to fight him now and I truly believe that's it.
Here we go again Mr jed is very good most of the time but every once in a while he is gonna say the most casual thing ever. How can Mr faty meshew can follow the sport for more than 20 years and still believe dum nonsense like " fighters are never scared of anything or anybody and they never duck anybody ", really ? You serious, how many times did fighters themselves admit they were scared in this fight or that fight? Fighters are human just anybody else and being scared is normal and very human , that's what courage is for, and some people are a lot more couragious than others. If you think fighters are superhuman and they don't feel what other feel is nonsense and for a guy with 20 years in the fight game and still doesn't remember all those instances where fighters admitted themselves that they where scared? Am disappointed. wasn't Ryan Bader clearly scared when he fought against rumble johnson, lol ? yes he was, he was clearly scared , and if you want to deny it, OK you are a lost cause at that point dude. How can somebody also forget all those times rose namajunas or geathje admit they where scared ? Apparently if you are jed it possible. Even the great Muhammad Ali admitted he was scared out of his mind vs George Forman. And the list goes on and on, and the list of fighter ducking other fighters is even bigger. Just Don't be a short term memory type of guy jed you can do better than that my guy. .
Gsp too many times said he was scared in his fight with Matt hughes in the 1st fight, so much so he couldn't look at him every time they were facing off.
100% Josh Thomson even said on his podcast that he ducked Edson Barboza and a few other fighters
Who gave the guy with the glasses this job lol dude just said why would you bring fighters that are from la to la ? like what ??
You need to pay attention to what's being said sunshine. And that "guy in the glasses" knows about 100x more about MMA than you do.
Ya. If I’m paying top dollar for tix, I don’t want to see local fighters. That’s my opinion.
@@e.caseyleydon2560 The "guy in the glasses" himself. lmfao
@@GWFHegel-ms7gzNo he doesn't lol stop, he's cool and I'm happy for him but most of these guys are flying by the seat of their pants. Mike and Jed know what they're talking about and that's it.
What
How high does Casey need to be to do an episode?
The Russian having Russian issues #visa
Charles Jourdain fight
How crazy would it be to see a third head kick knock out as the main event in Salt Lake City?
When will ufc come back to Chicago 😢
Khamzat wins , ufc has it lined up for abu dhabi title fight 4months later
#UFC catering to khamzat and him not having a working visa so of course were only going to see khamzat in these type of countries and his opponents are going to have to play in that card.
Whit gettin PAID
Money > father time
Chimaev is losing that fight if he cant finish whitaker in the first round and i think whitaker will ko him.
I'm almost certain people wouldn't super chat if the money just goes to the higher ups. I want all the super chat money to go to the gang n 5% to higher ups maby
Dude with the tash is talkin in circles. He doesn't believe khamzat will fight or mcgregor and chandler. Does he know where he is at all or what day it is
Yeah, why would he have any reason to doubt Conor v Chandler might not happen? It isn't like that fight was supposed to happen LAST NOVEMBER and still isn't booked. And Khamzat. It isn't like he fights once every 3 years. Be real dunce.
Ya. I don’t believe it till it happens especially with those two.
@@e.caseyleydon2560 fair enough about mcgregor ha he may never fight again, but khamzat does apparently have visa issues with the US so no reason he doesn't fight in Arabia especially at 185
@@GWFHegel-ms7gz speaking of being a dunce I believe khamzat has fought more than once in 3 years. You need to work on your mathematics lad
@@loopvil369 No, it isn't my math. You just need to take an English class and learn about concepts such as hyperbole, exaggeration, and other rhetorical devices.
The internet is filled with such disgusting people. You wonder if they even have friends in their normal life lol. Casey is a friggin OG of this game. He is THE MAN behind Ariel’s early interviews including the infamous one with Joe Rogan asking him to not put the camera so close 😂
He is an OG but that still does not change the fact that he turned now into a person who hates his job and the sport he is covering and he is not even hiding it anymore.
Haha. That’s old. I forgot about that one.
@@vyevsewhat are you talking about? I am more engulfed with MMA in my life more than I ever have with a full-time job in the sport for over 17 years now and training my ass off six days a week. I’m all in this. It can be just a dirty industry a lot of times from the fan base to business practices but when that big fight walks out, I’m still freaking hyped.
You guys do far too much complaining about where events are held geographically and not having fighters from that area on the card. Who the hell cares? Way overblown issue. Most of my favorite fighters don’t even speak my language.
That's literally what Casey argued. And it's okay to have a difference of opinions. And, lastly, it is quite relevant to cover since they have a new deal with Perth, just announced a card there, and are going to Saudi Arabia, have been talking about Africa for years, and are now focusing on Spain in the future. Why wouldn't this be important to cover?
