Summary

Carlos Ulberg has done just about everything he can to make his case for a title shot. “Black Jag” was already on a red hot win streak with eight straight wins, but he put an exclamation point ont hat run Saturday with a first-round knockout of the resurgent Dominick Reyes. With Magomed Ankalaev and Alex Pereira rematching for the light heavyweight championship at UFC 320 next Saturday and top contenders Jiri Prochazka and Khalil Rountree also on that card, is there still too much noise at the top of the division for Ulberg to get his opportunity? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss whether Ulberg has placed himself firmly at the front of the contender pack with his statement win. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Jimmy Crute, Jack Jenkins, budding Hall of Fame candidate Neil Magny, top lightweight prospect Tom Nolan, and more. Plus, what to make of the public and critical reception to UFC Perth, and listener picks to close out the show. Follow Mike Heck: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@m_heckjr⁠⁠ Follow Alexander K.
