On To the Next One: Matches to make after UFC Shanghai

Following UFC Shanghai, where Song Yadong delivered a stunning knockout victory over previously undefeated Umar Nurmagomedov, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee examine the title implications and next matchups for the card's top performers.

Song's brutal finish marked the biggest win of his career and immediately raised questions about whether the bantamweight contender has done enough to earn a shot at gold. Beyond Song, the analysts break down potential opponents for Denise Gomes, whose stoppage win over Yan Xiaonan in the co-main event showcased her rising credentials, plus other notable main card victors including Kai Asakura, Sumudaerji, Ce Liu, and Bilal Hasan.

The episode also opens with Heck's on-site recap of the Mike Perry boxing event, which underwent a late change when Perry's original opponent was unavailable and Brandon Jenkins stepped in as a replacement. Heck covers both the highlights and significant controversies that marked the card.
