On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim and Matt are joined by comedian/podcaster Akaash Singh and UFC lightweight contender Beneil Dariush.

Matt and Jim’s show-opening banter takes an even bigger comedic turn when Akaash Singh hops on the show. After Akaash explains why Israel Adesanya is his favorite fighter, the guys spark a dialogue on the humor it takes for men like themselves with below average height to lead women away from taller guys.

The comic closes out his appearance by sharing how Apu from The Simpsons earned a spot in the title of his comedy special and plugging the final dates of his comedy tour.

Finally, just two weeks away from ending a 17-month layoff, Beneil Dariush calls in fresh off a training session to talk about preparing for his UFC 280 fight with Mateusz Gamrot and where he believes he stands in the UFC’s lightweight title picture.
