On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, we break down the massive Paramount + TKO deal — a jaw-dropping 7-year, $7.7 BILLION U.S. rights agreement starting in 2026.

First, Jim and Matt catch up with middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis — gearing up for his fourth straight title fight and third defense. Dricus weighs in on Saturday’s epic UFC 319 title showdown against Khamzat Chimaev and shares whether he thinks his unique style is finally getting the respect it deserves.

Next, the guys chat with viral slam KO artist Elijah Smith. Now $50K richer after sending a message to the bantamweight division, the 22-year-old talks about his journey from football to MMA. In the back half of the interview, Elijah’s ex-UFC fighter dad joins in to share his perspective as Elijah’s trainer and mentor.

Listen in as the guys break down the wild action from last weekend’s UFC Fight Night and make their picks for Saturday’s UFC 319 card!

With probably one of the GREATEST OF ALL TIME being in the city this weekend, and him being in some headlines as of late, Randy C pulls out another CLASSIC from the SNME Archives! Jason Agnew and Dan Lavranski sit down wit Bret " The Hitman " Hart  its June 11, 2019 and the WWE HOF ( Hall of Fame) just recently happened. Jason and Dan talk a little about the fan " Run In"  and talk a little more about:

* What was the fan thinking?

* AEW Double or Nothing appearance

* Brets thoughts on MJF

* Modern Day Gear!

 On this episode of Good Guy/Bad Guy...Did we just witness the greatest Slam KO of all time or was Rampage Jackson's better? We discuss the insane Slam KO from Elijah Smith and whether one of the most dangerous moves in MMA should be banned. Then, could we see a BMF title fight at 185lbs? That's the idea of Anthony "Fluffy" Hernandez after he dominated #9 ranked Roman Dolidze. Plus, the Boogeyman of the Middleweight division, Khamzat Chimaev is back for UFC 319 vs the Champ Dricus DuPlessis. So, is Khamzat the scariest dude we've ever seen? And will his cardio be an issue if the fight goes passed the third round?
