Show Notes
Another very busy weekend in the combat sports world is upon us, including Saturday's stacked UFC 333 event headlined by a UFC featherweight title bout between Alexander Volkanovski and Movsar Evloev, while Petr Yan defends his bantamweight title against Merab Dvalishvili in a trilogy fight. While titles are at stake, what else is on the line in these two huge fights?
On a special Tuesday edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses the mega stakes and conversations involved in the two title fights this Saturday, where each fighter goes with a win or loss, and how they may be viewed historically. Additionally, topics may include other standout fights on the card, Shakur Stevenson being granted his release from Zuffa Boxing, RAF 14 headlined by Arman Tsarukyan vs. Dillon Danis in a wrestling match, Khamzat Chimaev vs. Robbie Lawler in the co-main event, and much more.

UFC 333 is here!
Mike Malott made a big statement by knocking out Joaquin Buckley in the main event of UFC Edmonton, sending his home-country crowd happy. With a lot of contenders at the top of the welterweight division, where does "Proper" go after the biggest win of his career?
Mike Malott delivered in a big way for his home country as he picked up the biggest win, and biggest highlight of his UFC career with a stunning second-round knockout of Joaquin Buckley in the main event of UFC Edmonton. After the win, is "Proper" a perennial top-10 welterweight moving forward, or is he a legit title threat?
The UFC returns to Canada this Saturday for a UFC Fight Night card, and in the main event, Canada's own Mike Malott looks to extend his long win streak against Joaquin Buckley. With "New Mansa" entering the bout off of back-to-back losses, and Malott being 34 in a loaded up division, is it do-or-die for both guys?
The public contract dispute between UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland and the promotion continues on, and it's created a lot of different opinions inside of the fight circle. On Tuesday, Dana White gave his thoughts on the situation, saying Strickland signed a contract in May, but also a Strickland-being-Strickland type situation. Now that this has gone on for over a week, will anything come of it?
