Summary

The UFC is in the headlines, but not for a reason they'd ever want to be after allegations of fight-fixing following the featherweight bout between Isaac Dulgarian and Yadier del Valle — which opened eyes with bizarre betting line movement, as well as del Valle getting an easy submission win in the first round. Dana White responded in a recent interview, but what's the reaction to the UFC CEO's comments? On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses the situation, White's response to the situation, and where this could all go heading into the promotion's new streaming deal in 2026. Additionally, topics may include MVP cancelling the Jake Paul vs. Tank Davis event next week after a new lawsuit against Davis surfaced, the UFC returning to the APEX for an event headlined by Gabriel Bonfim and Randy Brown, Jon Jones' recent comments about Tom Aspinall's UFC 321 performance, and much more.
