Summary

Danaa Batgerel has won three fights in a row inside the UFC's octagon — all first-round knockouts — as he prepares to face Chris Gutierrez in a battle of under the radar fighters in one of the promotion's deepest divisions at the end of the month. Batgerel (5:26) kicks off this week's edition of We Got Next ahead of his March 26 bout with Chris Gutierrez at UFC Columbus. "Storm" previews the bout, discusses his reaction to finding out original opponent Montel Jackson was scratched from the bout, his thoughts on Gutierrez as an opponent and how they match up stylistically, teammates such as Holly Holm and Michelle Waterson guiding him with their experience and wisdom, how he sees the fight playing out, and what he would like his 2022 to look like. UFC featherweight David Onama (19:42) caps us off this week to recap his incredible first-round KO win over Gabriel Benitez at UFC Vegas 48 a couple of weeks ago, talks his reaction to Benitez missing weight, being summoned to Dana White's office following the finish and what the UFC president said to him before heading to the hospital, why he feels the victory changed his life, when he wants to return, Max Holloway being his dream opponent, his thoughts on Alexander Volkanovski vs. The Korean Zombie, Colby Covington vs. Jorge Masvidal, and more.

0:00.0	Hello there everybody and welcome to a brand new edition of We Got Next here on the MMA
0:25.8	Fighting Podcasting Network. I am Mike Heck. Thank you for joining us this week. You get two great
0:30.8	interviews heading your way with a fighter who has a big fight on the horizon and another
0:37.0	coming off of a huge win less than two weeks ago. So another bit of a shorter show but I have a
0:44.1	feeling that next week will be a different story. So stay tuned for that but obviously a lot going
0:51.2	on this week and as always but especially this week in the world of mixed martial arts. This
0:56.6	program drops in the early morning hours of Thursday, two days before UFC 272 which is going down
1:04.9	this Saturday in Las Vegas, headlined by Colby Covington versus Jorge Mazadol and this card like most
1:14.8	we've had some some shuffles of the deck if you will. Co-made event we were supposed to see
1:20.5	Halfield Osanjos versus the surging Raphael Fazeve in a five round co-made event. Fazeve as you
1:28.2	found it on the MMA hour. Tested positive for COVID he is out of the fight but Hennatomoicano looks
1:35.4	to be stepping in. Still five rounds big fight for Hennatomoicano against the former champion
1:41.9	Halfield Osanjos and it'll be a catchweight at 160 pounds. So great fight. Some people were
1:48.3	groaning about it. How could you groan about that fight? I don't get it. I love that fight. I think
1:52.0	it's very interesting. Hennatomoicano has been on a roll. I feel like he's one of the more
1:57.4	underrated guys at 155 pounds coming off a big win over Alexander Hernandez just ran through him
2:03.4	and now he gets a big opportunity gets the kind of fight that he wants. So I love it. I think it's
2:08.5	a great substitution and we're going to get two five round non-title fights and I love both of them
2:14.0	equally if we're being honest. I mean coming to Mazda this is much more heat on it but
2:19.0	from a competitive standpoint really enjoyed both fights on paper. We had the media day yesterday
2:24.7	Jose Young's in the house in Las Vegas. We got the press conference going down later on today
2:29.8	as this is released. We have a live edition of BTL going down on Thursday at 3 p.m. Eastern
