On To the Next One | Matches To Make After UFC Vegas 78 Aug 13, 2023

Show notes

Vicente Luque got back on track with a well-rounded decision victory over former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos in the main event of UFC Vegas 78. Luque called for a top-five opponent following the win, and even said he was open to welcoming Dustin Poirier to welterweight if the opportunity presented itself, but will either of those things happen after snapping a two-fight skid?

On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee give their thoughts in regards to what could be next for Luque after his decision win on Saturday at the APEX. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Cub Swanson after his decision win over Hakeem Dawodu, Khalil Rountree following his first-round knockout win over Chris Daukaus, along with fellow main card winners Iasmin Lucindo, A.J. Dobson, Josh Fremd, and more.

Additionally, listener questions include which UFC title challenger has the best chance to pull off an upset between next Saturday's UFC 292 event and UFC 295 in November, the MMA Fighting Global Rankings, Leon Edwards vs. Colby Covington, Dana White's interview with Mike Tyson, and much more.
