The UFC heads into a pivotal 2025 as they set up their new television distribution deal for 2026. While the promotion has become the biggest star in MMA, what could the new year look like for the UFC's big names such as Conor McGregor, along with champs Jon Jones, Alex Pereira, Ilia Topuria, and more?

On an all-new edition of Between the Links, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and José Youngs answer questions about the 2025 outlooks for those names, and other intriguing names in and out of the UFC. Additionally, they'll discuss topics such as the PFL and GFL's 2025 campaigns, what some of the biggest stories to watch are, intriguing questions in the MMA world ahead, and much more on the site's first live show of the new year.
