Is everything 100 percent locked in, or could a couple of curve balls come their way? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss what could be next for Van and Tsarukyan after their big wins to close the show at UFC 331. Future matchups are also discussed for Patricio Pitbull following his knockout win over Doo Ho Choi, Sean Sharaf after he career-altering 12-second destruction of Gable Steveson, along with fellow main card winner Iwo Baraniewski, and more.
