After getting knocked out for the first time in his career in the main event of #UFC308 by Ilia Topuria, Max Holloway’s featherweight career appears to be over for good, as he recently confirmed he’ll be making the move to the #UFC lightweight division. Is it the right move for the current #BMF champion?
On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel reacts to Holloway’s full-time lightweight jump, discuss who he could face next at 155, and if a third meeting with Dustin Poirier is the fight to make. Additionally, topics include Brandon Moreno’s sensational performance at #UFCEdmonton and what’s next for the former two-time champ, other standout moments from this past Saturday’s card, Rakhmonov wanting a fight with Kamaru Usman for the interim welterweight title at #UFC310, if the UFC should just wait for Belal Muhammad to heal up, #UFCVegas100 this Saturday headlined by Neil Magny vs. Carlos Prates, and much more.
Host Mike Heck moderates the matchup between #MMA Fighting’s Alexander K. Lee and EuroSport’s Marcel Dorff. Show goes LIVE Thursday at 12:30 p.m. ET / 9:30 a.m. PT.

SUPER WOKE ALEX K LEE SUCKS – SEAN STRICKLAND WOULD AGREE – CORRECT?
Awesome to see Marcel hell yeah
BTL with no Jed 👎🏻
The mma media needs to stop suggesting interm title fights
Sad for no Jed but CHEERING for Big M
When AK proposed Money Moicano v Holloway you could really feel the loss of Jed…. cause theres no way they do that.
Belai talked about his injury on his podcast Remember the Name with Jason Anik. He will only be down 6 weeks. Its not a bad infection. I think he will be back late first quarter early 2nd of 2025. The media needs to stop creating interim title fights. Dana did it to himself. This card for 310 before we lost Belai was weak. Pants vs Kai Asukara is the co main event. Shavakat through Dana could be despeate. This will be the first whole year Shavakat will missed since he came to the UFC. We need a strong title fight as the main event. Marcel was a great guest this week. I believe if he posts a fight it will happen. Didnt Max tell us at his scrum he is going to 155 full time. He is 21-8 at Featherweight. Max came to the UFC as a baby in this sport.
I love this show but when that Asian dude is on I don’t watch. The rest of the guys are great.
Where is jed
No Jed😢
Doesn't matter if the move is smart or going to lead to a title for Max, he's out of options at 145 and arguably should a stayed there after the Justin fight. To maximize his remaining paydays, 155 has to be his choice from now on.
New Jed is so much nicer with his takes.
Why is MMA Fighting not reporting on the Conor court case? Why are you pretending it's not happening? 20 articles a day whenever Conor so much as farts yet radio silence on this? Y'all are pathetic.
Jed IS BTL
Guys, your channel is getting sooooo boring and stale. It's been a while now since Ariel and crew announced their departure, and you've not made any improvements. You simply do not have the personalities to sustain my interest. Jed is the only charismatic person left. I can't even have this on in the background anymore whilst I do chores or something because the entertainment value is not even good enough for that. I'm not trying to be mean here, because I've been watching you guys for years, but you haven't responded to constructive criticism and the other MMA channels are way ahead of you guys now. I can't remember the last piece of good content that you put out, and I'm consistently finding myself bored and disengaged. If I've got a couple of hours to put on an MMA podcast, I'm picking one of the others. I've kept coming back hoping things would improve, but they're not. You guys have way too much faith in your personalities which I'm sorry to say just aren't interesting. Hearing Mike and AK having a bro-love sesh and patting themselves on the back for weak humour just doesn't appeal to anyone. It's really, really lame. I'll miss Jed, and I hope he moves elsewhere or becomes independent or something, but I'm unsubscribing now and I won't be clicking on any content from now on.
Prince of Positivity with the Kobe record. Good show.
I'm all in on Max vs Moicano. LFG!!
