Summary

Francis Ngannou's MMA return happens this Saturday as the PFL returns to pay-per-view for Battle Of the Giants in Saudi Arabia. With the PFL needing to badly get some buzz, does Ngannou have to beat Renan Ferreira — not just for himself, but for the PFL as a whole? On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses Saturday's big fight card, how important it is that the card delivers as a whole, and what happens based on the result of the main event. Additionally, topics include Dana White once again ripping the UFC rankings panel after UFC 307, the promotion returning to the APEX this Saturday for UFC Vegas 99 headlined by Anthony Hernandez vs. Michel Pereira, Donald Cerrone announcing he's ending his retirement with hopes of two more UFC bouts, UFC 310 fight announcements including Belal Muhammad vs. Shavkat Rakhmonov for the welterweight title, and more. Host Mike Heck moderates the matchup between MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew and UFC lightweight Grant Dawson.
