On the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer, Matt Brown and Damon Martin react to the latest news in MMA including the allegations surrounding Conor McGregor. Following an appearance at a Miami Heat game during the NBA Finals, McGregor was accused of sexual assault but through his attorneys, he has denied any wrongdoing. We'll discuss the latest with McGregor and what this could mean for his future. Plus we’ll discuss the impromptu faceoff between Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou at a PFL event this past Friday night. As fun as it was to see the heavyweights staring each other down, it seems highly unlikely that Jones and Ngannou will ever cross paths in the cage. While Jones will just move onto potential fights against Stipe Miocic or maybe Sergei Pavlovich, the options seem much more limited for Ngannou as he prepares to embark on his PFL career in 2024. Brown will also discuss cornering some of his fighters at an LFA event this past weekend in Kentucky including an incident where one of his athletes drove an opponent out of the cage during a takedown.

There's been a lot of questions about who Israel Adesanya could face at UFC 293 in the promotion's return to Sydney in September with all of the middleweight bouts on the books, but could Bo Nickal be one of the names in play should he get a quick finish of Tresean Gore at UFC 290? On an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck discusses that possibility after the question is proposed by special guest caller Eric "New York Ric" Jackman, and talk whether or not the UFC would give Nickal that opportunity so quickly in his promotional run. Additionally, listener topics include a potential Jared Cannonier vs. Khamzat Chimaev fight following Cannonier's UFC Vegas 75 win over Marvin Vettori, Arman Tsarukyan's next move following his third-round finish over Joaquim Silva in the co-main event, the PFL's poor pacing continuing with their cards, and more. You can listen live to Heck of a Morning Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 10 a.m. ET on the MMA Fighting Twitter Spaces.

Jared Cannonier delivered one of the best performances of his career in his main event victory over Marvin Vettori at Saturday's UFC Vegas 75. With the road back to a title shot with Israel Adesanya likely a long one, could Cannonier make it a bit shorter by facing Khamzat Chimaev next? 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 for Cannonier following his record-breaking showing against Vettori at the APEX. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Arman Tsarukyan following his third-round TKO win over Joaquim Silva in the co-main event, Armen Petrosyan after handing Christian Leroy Duncan his first loss, Manuel Torres following his vicious finish of Lucas Almeida, along with fellow main card winners Pat Sabatini, Nicolas Dalby, and more.
