Islam Makhachev is the new UFC lightweight champion after his dominant win over Charles Oliveira in the main event of UFC 280 this past Saturday. This is the start of an all-time dominating title reign in UFC’s top division.

On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel will react to Makhachev’s victory, how long his reign could last, and a potential matchup with featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski. Topics include Aljamain Sterling’s victory over T.J. Dillashaw, Dillashaw’s injury and next steps for Dillashaw. There is also UFC Vegas headed by Calvin Kattar vs. Arnold Allen.

Host Mike Heck moderates the matchup between Jed Meshew, a returning fighter, and Drake Riggs from MMA Mania.
