BTL | Pyfer Finishes Adesanya, Tsarukyan Beats Poullas Again, Moicano vs. Duncan

In this episode of Between the Links, Mike Hecht and Jed Mishu dive into a packed weekend of combat sports, starting with a glowing review of UFC Seattle, which they hail as the card of the year, highlighted by Joe Pifer's shocking second-round stoppage of Israel Adesanya. They express frustration over PFL's scheduling missteps, particularly their clash with major events like the NCAA Final Four and UFC 327, calling their timing 'the worst possible.' The hosts passionately argue against PFL's rumored rebranding back to Bellator, calling it a disastrous step backward. They also critique the UFC's current card at the Apex, calling it the worst they've seen on paper, with weak matchups and a lack of compelling fights. The conversation turns to Armin Sarukian's rising star power at RAF, with both hosts praising his consistent hype and success. They discuss Kai Kamaka III's return to the UFC and express skepticism about the quality of the card, while also debating future matchups for Adesanya, including a potential bout with Kevin Holland. The episode closes with a fun segment on fighter walkout music, where they advocate for iconic, crowd-pleasing tracks like 'Poison' by Belle Biv DeVoe and 'Go Ninja, Go Ninja' to elevate fighter personas and fan engagement.
