About this episode

The episode discusses potential matchups following UFC Vegas 118, focusing on Gabriel Bonfim's victory and other fighters' performances.

Gabriel Bonfim picked up the biggest win of his career in the main event of UFC Vegas 118, dominating former welterweight champion Belal Muhammad over five rounds to extend his already impressive win streak. Bonfim called out another former champion in Jack Della Maddalena after the victory. Is that the fight to make for Bonfim? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss where Bonfim goes from his main event win, and react to Muhammad losing his third straight. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Brendan Allen following his co-main event victory over Edmen Shahbazyan, Tom Nolan after his upset win over Fares Ziam, along with fellow main card winners Bryce Mitchell, Iwo Baraniewski, and more.
