With no UFC card from over the weekend, Jim and Matt begin the show by catching up with each other and unpacking what to make of Jamahal Hill’s decision to quickly turnaround from his knockout loss at UFC 300 with a fight scheduled for International Fight Week on this June’s UFC 303 card against Khalil Rountree Jr.

When super middleweight boxer Anthony Sims Jr. calls in the show, the 29-year-old former titleholder begins by sharing how his background in karate and humble beginnings as a kickboxer gave him appreciation for the degree of difficulty in MMA.

After discussing the status of his own boxing career, the Indianapolis 29-year-old former titleholder shares the inspiring thought process behind his decision to establish his own promotional company for local midwestern boxers in need of fights, with Sims Jr. explaining that he hopes to see a day where boxing fans can respect fighters coming off a loss the way UFC fans do.

On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by a pair of victorious lightweights from Saturday’s UFC 300 card in Arman Tsarukyan and Renato Moicano.

Joining the show first is Arman Tsarukyan, who reflects on his victory at UFC 300 over Charles Oliveira and how his confidence on the ground against "Do Bronx" stemmed from how much Arman and his team practiced escapes in bad positions.

Now entrenched as the UFC’s newly-ranked #1 lightweight contender, Tsarukyan shares why he’s opting for rest instead of quickly turning around for a second shot at beating Islam Makhachev in what would’ve been a title fight main event at UFC 302 in June.

Shortly after, Renato Moicano calls in to break down the sequence of events that led to his 2nd-round TKO win at UFC 300 over Jalin Turner.

A law school student-turned-MMA fighter, “Money” Moicano caps off his interview by discussing how he grew interested in investing before ultimately taking the conversation back to who he’d like to fight next.

There’s no shortage of topics to talk about on today's episode of UFC Unfiltered — a show that sees guest co-host Sayif Saud join Jim Norton and Matt Serra for a recap of Saturday's landmark UFC 300 card.

The first half of the show sees Jim and Matt work their way up the card alongside Sayif, beginning with Aljamain Sterling’s successful featherweight debut before venturing into an insightful chat about some of the trends they saw from several of Saturday’s fighters that had to work through various mounted positions.

After working their way from the early prelims on up to the prelims, the guys finally reach the main card — which includes a chat on what should be next for Max Holloway following his all-time classic win in Saturday’s BMF title fight vs. Justin Gaethje.

The guys culminate their UFC 300 recap with a discussion on the mystifying power in Alex Pereira’s left hook and how it keeps on carrying him to new heights in the Octagon.

In honor of Saturday’s absolutely-stacked UFC 300 card being just three days away, today’s UFC Unfiltered episode is stacked in its own right with a pair of former light heavyweight champions calling in by the names of Jamahal Hill and Jiří Procházka.

Jim Norton and Matt Serra waste no time by bringing on Jamahal Hill at the very beginning of the show. Eager to show the world how well he has recovered from his ruptured Achilles tendon, Hill confidently explains why he thinks he has what it takes to dethrone Alex Pereira and reclaim his spot on the 205-pound throne in Saturday’s main event.

After a fun chat with Hill that also includes a surprise cameo appearance by Jamahal’s father, Jim and Matt find themselves in the presence of another former champion when Jiří Procházka calls in to the show shortly thereafter to share his mindset going into his highly-anticipated fight against Aleksandar Rakić on Saturday’s prelims. (Yes, you read that right… PRELIMS!)

Finally, Jim and Matt wrap up the episode by fulfilling Monday’s promise of picking more fights from Saturday’s massive card.

On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by UFC featherweight Damon Jackson and lightweight Jim Miller. 

The show begins with Jim and Matt talking to Damon, who shares his thoughts on the lone 30-27 scorecard that went against him in his majority decision victory over the weekend  against Alexander Hernandez in the co-main event slot.

Jealous of Damon’s revitalized hair, Matt is surprised when he finds out that one of his Serra-Longo fighters went to the same doctor as Jackson for the hair transplant. 

Shortly after, Jim Miller hops on the show ahead of his highly-anticipated fight against Bobby Green on Saturday’s STACKED UFC 300 card. The 40-year-old lightweight reflects on a journey that has seen him fight a record 43 times in the UFC Octagon.
