No Bets Barred: Can Carlos Prates Earn A Ranking At UFC Vegas 100 Or Will Neil Magny Add Another Upset To His Resume?
6 November 2024 - 44 minsFresh off the heels of UFC Edmonton, the world's leading MMA promotion heads back to the APEX for a historic event: UFC APEX 100, headlined by a welterweight matchup between Neil Magny and Carlos Prates. And No Bets Barred is back to break it all down.
Host Jed Meshew runs solo this week to break down this legendary event with all his favorite plays. Topics discussed include Prates's incredible run through 2024 and whether Magny can pull off the upset yet again, how much does former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt have left in the tank, the return of "Brazilian Killer" Nicolas Dalby, and the debut of Jed's boy, former two-division ONE Champion Reiner de Ridder.

On To the Next One | Matches To Make After UFC London
After his majority decision win over Lerone Murphy in the main event of UFC London, Movsar Evloev called for his shot at the UFC featherweight title and Alexander Volkanovski. Moments later, Volkanovski obliged, accepting the undefeated fighter's challenge. But with the UFC's head-scratching matchmaking practices as of late, should Evloev be concerned he could get leapfrogged again? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck discusses what could — and should — be next for Evloev after his hard fought victory over Murphy. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Luke Riley following his co-main event win over Michael Aswell, Michael Page after his win over Sam Patterson in the lackluster featured bout, along with other main card winners Iwo Baraniewski, Christian Leroy Duncan, Danny Silva, and more. Plus, the listeners get their say with their matchmaking submissions on the second half of the program.

explicitMovsar Evloev picked up the biggest win of his career in the main event of UFC London as he defeated Lerone Murphy, handing the latter his first MMA loss in the process.

Following UFC London, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to the Fight Night card, Evloev's win and the scorecards, how the commentary was during the fight, and if Evloev will get a title shot against Alexander Volkanovski after the win. Additionally, topics include Luke Riley's co-main event win, the lackluster featured bout between Michael Page and Sam Patterson and if it was one of the worst fight's in UFC history, the incredible Mason Jones vs. Axel Sola Fight of the Year contender, and much more.
