Summary

Make it two straight wins for two-time flyweight champion Brandon Moreno following a competitive decision victory over Steve Erceg in the UFC Mexico main event. Is it time for Moreno to be booked for another title fight or should other contenders at 125 pounds get a date with Alexandre Pantoja first? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss whether it makes sense for Moreno to return to the title picture especially with UFC 320 announced for Sept. 13 in Mexico. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for non-stop action lightweight Manuel Torres after he scored the biggest win of his career over Drew Dober, 20-year-old Raul Rosas Jr. as he continues his impressive win streak, plus main card standouts Edgar Chairez, David Martinez, and Kevin Borjas. All that, plus a spectacular set of matchup suggestions from you, the listeners. Follow Mike Heck: @m_heckjr Follow Alexander K.
