On To The Next One: Matches To Make After Noche UFC

What this episode covers

Diego Lopes isn’t stepping out of the championship contender picture just yet. With a resounding win over Jean Silva in Saturday’s Noche UFC main event, Lopes kept himself in line for another shot at the featherweight title he fell short of capturing this past April. But just how much closer is he to going another five rounds with Alexander Volkanovski? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss what's next for Lopes as he looks to further separate himself from a crowded 145-pound pack that includes rivals Movsar Evloev and Yair Rodriguez, and former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for the fast-rising David Martinez, surging lightweights Alexander Hernandez and Rafa Garcia, and 21-year-old debutant Santiago Luna. Plus, what to do with Kelvin Gastelum after another weight miss debacle, and listener picks to close out the show. Follow Mike Heck: ⁠⁠⁠@m_heckjr⁠ Follow Alexander K.

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.
