Summary

Alexander Volkanovski put it on Diego Lopes for 25 minutes in their rematch for the featherweight title at UFC 325 to pick up his eighth UFC championship victory. Following their second meeting, what's next for the champ Volkanovski, and Lopes — who falls to 0-2 in title fights in less than a year? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss what could be awaiting both headliners following Volkanovski's one-sided win in Saturday's main event in Sydney. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Benoit Saint Denis after stopping Dan Hooker in the co-main event, Mauricio Ruffy following his statement knockout win against Rafael Fiziev in the lightweight featured bout, along with fellow main card winners Tallison Teixeira, Quillan Salkilld, and more. Plus, matchmaking suggestions from the listeners. Follow Mike Heck: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@MikeHeck_JR⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Alexander K.
