On To the Next One | Will McGregor vs. Diaz 3 Happen In the UFC? | Ask Mike & AK Anything Part 6

Mateusz Gamrot picked up the biggest win of his UFC career in the main event of UFC Vegas 79 on Saturday, but it certainly didn't happen the way he would've liked it to with Fiziev suffering a knee injury throwing a kick in the second round. Regardless, Gamrot got the victory, and then called for a fight with a former lightweight champion next. Will he get his wish? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss what could be next to Gamrot following his victory over Fiziev at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Bryce Mitchell following his unanimous decision win over Dan Ige, Marina Rodriguez after her dominant finish in the rematch against Michelle Waterson-Gomez, along with fellow main card winners Bryan Battle, Charles Jourdain, and more in the capper event of a 17 week stretch for the UFC.

Mateusz Gamrot wins again, but at what cost? With opponent Rafael Fiziev suffering an unfortunate injury in the UFC Vegas 79 main event, we were given an unsatisfying end to an otherwise entertaining night of action. Other than the disappointing finish to the card, what stood out most from Saturday’s action? Following the UFC's return to the APEX, MMA Fighting's Alexander K. Lee, José Youngs, and E. Casey Leydon react to Fiziev’s injury, Bryce Mitchell putting on a gritty performance against Dan Ige to bounce back from his first pro loss, and Marina Rodriguez doing her best impression of a buzzsaw against fan favorite Michelle Waterson-Gomez. Additionally, the crew debates what to think of Mitchell’s post-fight speech, how to judge damage vs. control, the responsibility of the referee and the corner to stop a fight, a surprising first for veteran Tim Means, and much more.

For the first time in six weeks, the UFC is back in the cozy confines of the APEX, which hosts a banger of a lightweight contender fight between Rafael Fiziev and Mateusz Gamrot. Both men have been scraping and clawing their way up the rankings, so will a win lead to a breakthrough into the top 5? And will the loser find themselves a long way from contention? MMA Fighting’s Alexander K. Lee, José Youngs, and E. Casey Leydon preview this weekend’s event, which features a fan-friendly headliner as well as several veteran names on the card. Fiziev and Gamrot jockey for position in a tight lightweight race, Bryce Mitchell looks to bounce back from his first loss when he takes on the battle-tested Dan Ige, and Marina Rodriguez and Michelle Waterson-Gomez face off in a rematch of their May 2021 affair. Is the final chapter of Waterson-Gomez’s career nearing its end? What about Tim Means, who competes in his 50th pro fight when he meets Andre Fialho on the prelims? Plus, we share a few thoughts on Saturday’s Bellator 299 card in Dublin, Ireland, headlined by undefeated middleweight champion Johnny Eblen defending against Fabian Edwards. Follow Alexander K.
