Summary

Merab Dvalishvili dominated Petr Yan over five rounds to pick up the biggest victory of his career and make a compelling case for a bantamweight title shot — a belt currently held by his close friend and training partner Aljamain Sterling. With everything in play in the loaded 135-pound division, where does Yan go from his main event victory at UFC Las Vegas? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee put on the matchmaking hats to discuss what could be next for "The Machine" following his one-sided decision win. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Yan, who has now lost three straight and four of five, Alexander Volkov following his quick finish of Alexandr Romanov, Nikita Krylov after stopping Ryan Spann in the first round, Jonathan Martinez following his upset victory over Said Nurmagomedov, along with fellow winners Mario Bautista, Vitor Petrino, and more.

0:00.0	Well, hello there everybody and welcome to a brand new edition of On to the next one
0:25.8	as the matchmaking crowns return following UFC Las Vegas, the go home show for the second UFC
0:33.6	pay-per-view of the month, UFC 286, which goes down this Saturday. And yesterday, Marabba
0:40.0	Wallace really dominates Peter Yahn and adds himself as a very interesting wrinkle to this
0:45.8	already loaded up. Bannemweight title discussion, but I am Mike Kekken joining me as always, the
0:52.2	co-host, the co-matchmaker, the principal positivity, the best friend, and the president of the Pleasure
0:58.4	Man fan club, Alexander Kaylee. What's up, AK? Yes. Yes, my best friend. Hello. It's the Pleasure
1:05.1	Man comment to Las Vegas. It was great. It was great to see he did not win. We'll talk about Mr. Anton
1:13.4	Tercali, the Pleasure Tercals, Anton Tercals, the Pleasure Man more. But I have to tell you,
1:20.6	besides that fight, I kind of had the evening off, schedule-wise. So I watched most of the pre-limbs,
1:27.8	and then I watched the Pleasure Man, of course, fight Victor Patrino. And then I kind of dipped. I
1:33.7	had real life to deal with. I don't regret it. And I liked the card on paper. This wasn't one of
1:39.0	those cards where I was looking forward to like, oh, thank goodness, I don't have to cover this one.
1:43.2	Like, I like this card on paper, and hopefully I will get a chance to rewatch it sometime this
1:47.9	week. This time, tomorrow, Mike, I will be in the sunny beaches of Winnipeg, Manitoba,
1:54.6	as I head to that great province to see AWs debut in Winnipeg. So I'll have time to catch up,
2:05.7	I think. I will have some time to catch up. But yeah, from what I saw from the results,
2:10.5	a lot of upsets on the main card. I think half of the four out of six, I want to say four out of
2:16.4	six, maybe maybe three out of six days of half, but that's a lot. I mean, already on the main
2:20.4	card, that's a lot. And some of them are pretty considerable. I think Jonathan Martinez, I think,
2:25.4	was two to one underdog. What was the other one? Merub was a pretty big underdog. Merub was
2:32.0	an over two to one. Yeah, I'm looking at typology plus two 10. And Volkov was also an underdog.
