It’s UFC 314 fight week as the UFC is set to put on one of their most exciting on-paper lineups in recent memory, and while hardcore fans are excited for the championship main event between Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes, it appears the overall fan hype is on the co-main event and featured bout.

On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses the big storylines ahead of Saturday’s massive pay-per-view card in Miami, where the hype is, along with the overall stakes in the vacant featherweight championship headliner between Volkanovski and Lopes. Additionally, they’ll discuss the five-round lightweight co-headliner between Michael Chandler and Paddy Pimblett, the featured contest between Bryce Mitchell and Jean Silva, GFL cancelling their first two events, the big news of Aaron Pico signing with the UFC, and much more.

Host Mike Heck moderates the matchup between MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew and Submission Radio’s Denis Shkuratov.
