Between the Links: Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry, DDP vs. Adesanya, McGregor and Chandler’s futures, UFC Saudi Arabia

While a couple of huge fights in the MMA and boxing world have been announced — with one, in particular crossing over into both sports — the future of another massive fight is still up in the air. Jake Paul and Mike Perry are set for a boxing match on July 20, while Dricus du Plessis defends the UFC middleweight title against former champ Israel Adesanya in the main event of UFC 305 in August.

On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel reacts to Paul vs. Perry being booked ahead of Paul’s November matchup with Mike Tyson, discuss if it’s a big risk for Paul, and what Perry would gain with a win. Additionally, they’ll discuss the du Plessis vs. Adesanya booking, Adesanya announcing his own fight, where Sean Strickland fits in the title conversation, Saturday’s UFC Saudi Arabia card headlined by Robert Whittaker vs. Ikram Aliskerov, Bellator Dublin going head-to-head with the UFC this weekend, the futures of Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler after their UFC 303 matchup got scratched, and more.

Host Mike Heck moderates the matchup between MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew and Morning Kombat’s Brian Campbell.
