On today’s episode of UFC Unfilfered, Jim and Matt are joined by two victorious bantamweights with very different but equally compelling stories.

When Gutierrez hops on, Matt heaps praise on the veteran’s poised jiu-jitsu in in this past Saturday’s split decision win over John Castaneda in Kansas City. Having fought through a broken hand, Chris outlines a timetable for his subsequent return after banking two straight wins.

In between interviews, Jim and Matt debate whether a victory over Carlos Prates puts Ian Machado Garry in prime position for a No. 1 contender fight against Sean Brady.

Finally, undefeated Malcolm Wellmaker makes his first-ever appearance on the show fresh off a viral one-punch KO in his UFC debut. Malcolm reflects on the moment he earned a $50k bonus and what it would mean for the Augusta, Georgia native to fight on this June’s upcoming Atlanta card headlined by Kamaru Usman vs. Joaquin Buckley.
