Is Jon Jones the biggest troll in UFC history? I begin with that. Then, with no news on a light heavyweight title rematch coming, I'm wondering if Alex Pereira actually wants the fight against Magomed Ankalaev. And after last week's slew of fight announcements, do we think Paddy Pimblett could face Ilia Topuria after the Spaniard fights Oliveira? Also, Topuria says Islam Makhachev ran from away from him, but is that the truth? And while Conor McGregor continues teasing a UFC return, I’m wondering fighters even want to bother fighting a much older-looking McGregor.

To support this program, please leave me a review on Apple Podcasts or submit a rating on my Spotify page.

Chapters:

• Jones the biggest troll in UFC history? (00:00)
• Does Pereira want the fight? (09:45)
• Matchup questions (18:26)
• Did Makhachev run from Topuria? (26:12)
• McGregor continues teasing return (36:06)

On the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer, Matt Brown and Damon Martin address accusations that Islam Makhachev moved to welterweight specifically to avoid a potential fight against Ilia Topuria. Plus the latest on Jon Jones and if the UFC should actually consider stripping him of the heavyweight title. And top prospect Josiah Harrell joins the show after he took out UFC veteran Melvin Guillard this past weekend plus much more.

On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by two familiar friends of the show: lightweight Jared Gordon and women’s bantamweight champion Julianna Peña.

Fresh off a decisive first-round stoppage win, Jared breaks down the finish and reflects on how his recovery journey has strengthened his mindset inside the cage. After revealing he's now a proud girl dad to a 4-month-old daughter, Jared gets a laugh out of Matt’s hilarious (and slightly scathing) story about a young YouTuber who kicked off their interview by asking Matt what it’s like to be the same height as a kid — prompting Matt to jokingly offer up his daughter for a grappling match with the young content creator.

Shortly after, Jim and Matt’s interview with Julianna Peña kicks off with some sparks, as she joins mid-sentence — just as the guys are in the middle of complimenting her, saying she’s not getting the respect she deserves ahead of UFC 316.

Once they clear up the misunderstanding, the conversation shifts into an engaging breakdown of her matchup with Kayla Harrison. Julianna talks about being an underdog throughout her career, staying focused through the noise, and how she’s preparing for Kayla’s unique skill set. Plus, she weighs in on the looming possibility of a high-stakes trilogy with Amanda Nunes.

It's a relatively slow week in MMA, so we start the show discussing the results of UFC Fight Night: Burns vs. Morales, where Michael Morales became yet another contender at Welterweight.

Then in the second half of the show we run down some of the week in MMA news.
