Where does Nolan go from this victory where the headlines are solely about the referee?
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 Nolan after getting his biggest win, yet not getting the rub despite not doing anything wrong.

Rosas, who was attending the press conference, volunteered when
Martirosian called for a replacement.
“Let's do it, f*ck it… Chiwiwis!†Rosas Jr. said at the
presser.
Covington competed at welterweight in the UFC, while Rosas is a
bantamweight. Covington last fought in December 2024, losing to
Joaquin
Buckley, and has since notified the promotion of his retirement
from mixed martial arts. Rosas has won six straight and is coming
off a fifth-round technical knockout victory over Raoni
Barcelos.
Both are scheduled to compete in Real American Freestyle wrestling
matches this month. Covington faces Khamzat
Chimaev at RAF Abu Dhabi on Nov. 14, while Rosas takes on
Clay
Guida at RAF 15 on Nov. 28.
