Summary

UFC CEO Dana White gave the MMA world a lot to discuss on Wednesday night with a slew of blockbuster announcements — including Ilia Topuria vacating the featherweight title in lieu of a lightweight move, and a new champion set to be crowned at UFC 314 in April. And that's just the start of the news. On an all-new edition of Between the Links, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to Topuria's big move, what it all means, and what his legacy could become if his gamble pays off, or fails. Additionally, they'll answer your questions about Topuria's future, Alexander Volkanovski vs. Diego Lopes to crown a new champ in Miami, Michael Chandler vs. Paddy Pimblett set for the UFC 314 co-main event, Patricio Pitbull signing with the UFC to face Yair Rodriguez on the card, along with the UFC 315 title fights, Saturday's UFC Seattle card, and much more.
