Summary

What are the chances we see two new champions at #UFC269 when Dustin Poirier challenges Charles Oliveira for the lightweight title, and Julianna Pena attempts to shut down the all-time dominant run of Amanda Nunes? That topic is discussed on a brand new edition of Between the Links. In addition, the panel will preview the two title fights and discuss a couple of out-of-the-box storylines, along with the low-key banger for the card, Jose Aldo’s victory over Rob Font in the main event of #UFC Vegas 44 this past Saturday and if he could fight for the bantamweight title in 2022, Rafael Fiziev’s ceiling following his stoppage win over Brad Riddell, Sergio Pettis’ highlight-reel KO of Kyoji Horiguchi at Bellator 272, if #Bellator got the upcoming grand prix field correct, and more. Mike Heck moderates the second semi-final matchup between MMA Fighting’s Alexander K. Lee and Phoenix Carnevale. The winner will face Jed Meshew next week in the finals for the undisputed BTL championship. Follow Mike Heck: @MikeHeck_JR Follow Alexander K.

The iconic voice of Esther Lynn welcomes you to a huge and festive edition of

0:29.6

between the links. As you can see, I'm in the spirits and I'm probably in the least amount of

0:35.2

spirit, once you see what the competitors are wearing. But we are in the final semifinal matchup

0:40.3

of this BTL championship tournament. Several weeks have gone by. Several matchups have taken place.

0:45.9

We have one finalist. His name is Jed Mishu. He punched his ticket to the championship match.

0:51.2

On last week's show, he wants to reclaim his undisputed title and he prefers to do it against the

0:57.2

woman who has defeated him on multiple occasions on this program. He may get that chance or the

1:02.9

ultimate underdog. Everybody's favorite dog could emerge to spoil the plans. We get a big week

1:08.3

on the show, a big weekend combat sports. We had a pretty exciting weekend last weekend. So there's

1:13.5

a lot happening. So let's get into this thing and introduce the participants first. The aforementioned

1:18.6

underdog, the aforementioned potential spoiler. He's been making strong moves on this program as

1:25.1

1:46.3

deducted a point because I was informed that today's battle would have to be waged in an ugly

1:50.8

Christmas sweater. I stirred off with the sweater. I added the suspenders and I added a little

1:56.0

festive tie here. I'll stand up so a little bit of a better look. And the more I added on,

2:04.9

the better it looked. So I apologize if I look fantastic as opposed to ugly Christmas as we were

2:11.0

supposed to do. Nothing can be done about it. I just look good. I can no longer focus on this

2:17.1

program. Okay, I just cannot get this wardrobe out of my mind. You look like a million dollars.

2:21.7

And we have to introduce his opponent. And let's to be honest, the reason why we're all wearing

2:28.0

holiday garb and the reason why I probably have to go and buy a holiday sweater in the next week or so.
