from MMA Fighting · host MMA Fighting

UFC heavyweight champ Jon Jones continues to be at the center of the news cycle as he discusses his plans for a return to the octagon, and a potential fight with interim champ Tom Aspinall. While he says he's not "retired," Jones continues to send fans on an emotional rollercoaster ride. But is Jones to blame for the insanity going on in the UFC's heavyweight title picture? On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses Jones' latest comments on social media, if he's trolling the fanbase at this point, and the UFC's choice to continue with Jones as heavyweight champ while Aspinall is approaching a year on the sidelines. Additionally they'll answer questions regarding Ilia Topuria parting ways with his longtime coaches ahead of his UFC 317 lightweight title fight with Charles Oliveira, the upcoming fight cards, Patchy Mix officially signing with the UFC to face Mario Bautista at UFC 316, and much more.

The Trials Of Women 10X Pod Group The trials of women throughout history have been marked by enduring challenges related to gender inequality, societal expectations, and limited opportunities. Women have often had to navigate systems of oppression, from fighting for basic rights such as the ability to vote and receive education to battling against cultural norms that confine them to traditional roles. Despite making significant strides toward equality, many women still face issues like discrimination in the workplace, gender-based violence, and unequal access to healthcare. These struggles are compounded by the weight of balancing professional aspirations with family responsibilities, as well as the continuous pressure to conform to unrealistic standards of beauty and behavior. Nonetheless, women continue to demonstrate resilience, courage, and leadership in overcoming these adversities and advocating for a more just and equal society.
