The UFC is kicking off its 2025 pay-per-view calendar year with a huge card for UFC 311 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., but now there's a new main event for the lightweight title as Dana White announced that Arman Tsarukyan is out, and Renato Moicano is in to face Islam Makhachev.

MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to the crazy turn of events with the new main event, where the division goes depending on the result, and discusses what a Makhachev win does for his and the division's legacy against Moicano. Additionally, they'll discuss the co-main event between bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili and challenger Umar Nurmagomedov, Jiri Prochazka vs. Jamahal Hill, the rest of the stacked main card, the low-key banger, and answer listener questions.
