BTL Arman Tsarukyan Wins Again, Ilia Topuria's Comments, Sterling vs. Zalal, RAF Signs Chimaev

The Arman Tsarukyan side quest tour continues to pay dividends as he once again delivered a dominant win, and a viral moment at 08 against Urijah Faber. While everyone is enjoying the Tsarukyan show, UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria views the rising star the opposite way ahead of his title defense at UFC White House. On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel reacts to another busy weekend in combat sports, Tsarukyan's big win in Philadelphia, Topuria's comments about him to Yahoo Sports, along with Mike Malott's big main event win at UFC Winnipeg, and Gilbert Burns calling it a career. Additionally, topics may include the upcoming UFC Vegas 116 card headlined by a pivotal featherweight matchup between former champ Aljamain Sterling and surging contender Youssef Zalal, Darren Till booking his first BKFC fight, Cory Sandhagen facing Mario Bautista in a rematch at UFC 329, Islam Makhachev teasing news, and much more.
