BTL | Dana White Breaking News Reaction, Fury vs. Usyk, UFC St. Louis Fallout, More

Published 2024-05-16
Saturday will be a monster day in the combat sports world, most notably because of the #boxing world as for the first time in what seems like forever, an undisputed heavyweight champion will likely be crowned as Tyson Fury battles Oleksandr Usyk for all the marbles in Saudi Arabia. With such a high-stakes and fascinating matchup, what are the biggest questions surrounding it?

On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel will discuss their most burning questions heading into #FuryvsUsyk, what would be the more interesting result, and who needs the victory more. Additionally, topics include #UFCStLouis this past Saturday, Derrick Lewis' big win, Joaquin Buckley's victory and subsequent callout of Conor McGregor, Dana White revealing that he wants out of the #UFC APEX — which coincidentally is where Saturday's #UFCVegas92 event will be held headlined by Edson Barboza vs. Lerone Murphy — the targeted Maycee Barber vs. Rose Namajunas main event bout for July in Denver, and more.

Host Mike Heck moderates the matchup between #MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew and Morning Kombat's Brian Campbell. Show goes LIVE Thursday at a special time of Noon ET / 9 a.m. PT.

    BTL with Mike Heck, Jed Meshew, and Brian Campbell is a must! It’s always legendary and interesting!
  • @Weezing336
    The 304 card looks great to me. I'm actually excited to see Belal get his title shot.
  • @joehohos7927
    But Buckley still got a segment on this program 😅😅
  • @cfslim4768
    if he called out gilbert he would have a segment, he has a segment rn lol
  • More people talking about Buckley for that awful call out, but its working. Doubt media would even talk about him if he asked for a reasonable bout. Look how quick people moved on when JDM called out Shavkat
  • I’m only here for the CEO, CFO, CMO, COO, CIO, CCO, CAO, CTO of CTE, CDE, BBC with the BDE donk of the century Brian Campbell
  • @jasonriddle4492
    If Bors was still a WW and Shavkat wasn't injured the UFC wouldn't even give Belal a ticket to the event
  • I set in the 300 section for ufc STL for $95 a seat, that same ticket was $225 all the way up until the Thursday before fight day
  • @jbortiz98
    One championship has a way better product to watch than the PFL
  • @TheNotoriousLCB
    Mike being the biggest mark ever is genuinely hard to listen to lol
  • @profightsinfo
    Dana White didn’t care that Buckley got on the mic at the UFC presser and asked to headline St. Louis. He was literally laughing when he said we’ll wrap it up and he gave an interview (either w/ UFC, ESPN or BT Sports) where he was asked about it and he said he loves fighters that are like that and praised Buckley for being the type of dude willing to fight anyone anywhere or whatever. Now, post UFC St. Louis maybe Dana doesn’t like Buckley, who could say, but the narrative that Dana hated the 300 press conference move is just not true.
  • @ellishawkins984
    Somebody must have mixed BC and his brand of budget mic, like to think its Casey but not seen him yet...good job anyway.
  • @tragic3299
    You guys spend half of every episode talking about peoples call-outs. Literally nobody cares except you guys.
  • @unsub6737
    I wonder who 'Revisionist History' Jed Meshew had as the HW champion just before Jon was injured training for his 1st title defense & Aspinall was coming off of a W over Tybura & nowhere near title contention but for Jon's injury? I forget, but he probably still had Francis as HW champ i.e it can never be Jon. Makes u wonder where he'd take this if Blaydes beats Tom?
  • @jbortiz98
    The PFL needs to clean our house and get people who know how to promote/make exciting fights in there. Who cares about punch speed or AI scores
  • @wwenexusfan908
    Attention is currency and the “worst callout ever” is garnering more attention than 95% of post fight interviews. You’re blinded by emotion if you don’t see how that’s a positive for Buckley.
