UFC 311 is in the books and both Islam Makhachev and Merab Dvalishvili remain UFC champions.

It was a hectic fight week that saw top lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan withdraw the day before the event, allowing Renato Moicano to step in on short notice. Unfortunately for Moicano, he was unable to capitalize on his opportunity as Makhachev dismantled him quickly, submitting Moicano in the very first round. The co-main event was less dominant but no less impressive as Dvalishvili out-worked Umar Nurmagomedov over five rounds, taking a clear decision in his first-ever title defense.

Mike Heck is on vacation so on this week’s all-new edition of Between the Links, Jed Meshew takes over the hosting chair and is joined by MMA Fighting’s Alexander K. Lee to break down all the big takeaways from UFC 311 and answer fan questions.

The show goes live at 12:30 p.m. ET on Thursday.

You can listen to the audio version of the program, which can be found below and on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you get your pods.
