Summary

Is Jailton Almeida in a position where his next octagon appearance could be for some sort of UFC championship following his dominant first-round submission victory over Jairzinho Rozenstruik in the main event of UFC Charlotte? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee attempt to answer that question from a matchmaking perspective after Almeida's impressive win streak got extended to 14 with short work of Rozenstruik. Additionally, future matchups are made for Johnny Walker following his decision win over Anthony Smith in the co-main event, Ian Machado Garry after his breakout finish of Daniel Rodriguez in the welterweight featured matchup, along with fellow event winners Carlos Ulberg, Alex Morono, and more.

0:00.0	Well, hello there, everybody, and welcome to a brand new edition of On to the next one,
0:26.8	what do you know it? Little peek behind the curtain. It's still Saturday night as we record the show,
0:33.4	and I love it because you have to see Charlotte is in the books, has been in the books for a few
0:38.7	hours now, and it's a great feeling. But welcome to the show. The matchmaking crowns are back on
0:44.6	following Saturday's card. We had a big statement made by a surging heavyweight contender in the
0:51.4	main event. We saw an arrival to the Walter Waite divisional rankings in the UFC, perhaps in the
0:58.4	MMA fighting global rankings, which we will discuss. But before we get there, one of the reasons
1:05.8	what we're doing this on Saturday as well is not just because UFC Charlotte was an early day card.
1:11.4	But as you're hearing this, it is Mother's Day. So happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there.
1:16.9	You are the real MVP's. You are the real matchmaking queens. Enjoy the day. All the moms out there,
1:24.6	especially my wife, Holly, my mom, Kathy, my mother-in-law, all the moms out there doing the damn thing.
1:30.1	We salute you all. You all rule. But I am Mike Kek and joining me is always my best friend,
1:36.2	co-matchmaker extraordinaire, Mr. Alexander Kaylee, AK. How are you? And happy Mother's Day to Mrs. Lee as well.
1:43.0	Oh, thank you, Mike. Yes, I was just spending time with her actually before we were
1:46.5	recording the show. And she's doing wonderful. She's enjoying a nice Mother's Day weekend dinner,
1:54.5	which I ordered for all of us. So there you go. That a nice little... What a guy.
2:00.0	Nice little freaking guy. Nice little treat for mum. Sit down, watch the TV. It's really about
2:05.0	spending the time, Mike. That's what I say. It's really about spending the time. I'm in a great mood,
2:09.0	Mike, not just because of Mother's Day, not just because of my dear mum. Justin Almeida.
2:14.6	Listen. Did he do something? Did he... Oh, he fought. Listen, any chance I get to watch this
2:20.5	man perform is a privilege. Because a lot of MMA fighters, let me tell you, they're here for a great
2:28.5	time. They're not here for a long time. Even heavyweights, heavyweights who tend to linger around or
