Summary

Alexander Volkanovski has options, and after his lopsided decision victory over Youssef Zalal at UFC Vegas 116, Aljamain Sterling wants his chance to fight for the featherweight title. Did "Funk Master" do enough to leapfrog Movsar Evloev, or will the UFC finally give Evloev his shot? On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel reacts to Sterling's big win, what the title picture looks like, and how Sterling currently fits in. Additionally, topics may include Dana White's wild comments following the White House Correspondents' dinner incident over the weekend, reaction to Colby Covington's Swing Rounds debut and sharing a side of him people haven't seen in quite some time, UFC Perth this weekend headlined by former champ Jack Della Maddalena and Carlos Prates, and more.
