With Matt Serra out for the day, John Morgan steps in as a guest co-host alongside Jim Norton for an episode of UFC Unfiltered that features two callers in Jasmine Jasudavicius and Carlos Prates.
Jim and John start things off by talking about the UFC 310 matchup between a pair of young, unbeaten fighters in Shavkat Rakhmonov and Ian Machado Garry before inviting Jasudavicius on for a chat. A few days removed from the announcement of her fight in February vs. Mayra Bueno Silva in Saudi Arabia, Jasmine discusses how her displeasure with the verdict against Tracy Cortez has fueled her current three-fight winning streak.
While waiting for Carlos Prates, Jim and John unpack a few of the matchups from this Saturday’s UFC Macau card.
When Prates hops on, the Brazilian welterweight from the fast-rising Fighting Nerds stable discusses how living and training in Thailand steered his then-fledgling MMA career into the right direction.
With plenty to talk about after this past Saturday’s UFC 309 card, Jim Norton and Matt Serra dive straight into a recap of the event — first with UFC flyweight Ode Osbourne providing his perspective as a viewer and later on with bantamweight Marcus McGhee recapping his pivotal win over 13th-ranked Jonathan Martinez.
During his interview, Osbourne marvels at Jon Jones' greatness alongside Jim and Matt as the trio share their thoughts on whether a matchup with Tom Aspinall or Alex Pereira will end up happening next.
After issuing some other takeaways from UFC 309, Jim and Matt waste no time by bringing in a big winner from Saturday's show in Marcus McGhee. Now 4-0 in his four-fight tenure with the UFC, McGhee discusses what the win means for his spot in the rankings and how his circumstances present a viable opportunity to make a fight with José Aldo.
Matt Serra and Jim Norton are joined by a pair of fighters from this Saturday’s UFC 309 card in bantamweight Jonathan Martinez and lightweight Jim Miller.
Looking to get back in the win column after snapping a six-fight streak in a loss to José Aldo, Jonathan Martinez discusses what he learned from fighting the “King of Rio” in his backyard. Martinez previews his upcoming fight against Marcus McGhee before explaining how Vampire Diaries serves as his guilty pleasure in between grueling training sessions.
Before Jim Miller joins, Jim and Matt make some of their UFC 309 fight picks. When Miller hops on, the 41-year-old veteran starts things off by explaining what it’s like raising pigs on his two acres.
As the conversation shifts back to MMA, Miller goes into detail about how he just can’t shake that “addicting feeling” of making the walk to the cage as he gears up for his UFC record 45th fight with the promotion on this Saturday’s prelims.
On today's action-packed episode of UFC Unfiltered, hosts Matt Serra and Jim Norton are joined by Reinier de Ridder fresh off his victorious UFC debut and actor Frank Grillo ahead of this Sunday's Tulsa King season finale.
De Ridder reflects on his journey to the Octagon, recounting his early days in mixed martial arts before discussing how familiarity with Gerald Meerschaert played a factor in Saturday's win over Meerschaert. As someone who walks around at 210 pounds, "DDR" explains how he ultimately settled on competing at 185 pounds despite previous success at 205.
Next, actor and fight enthusiast Frank Grillo joins the show to talk about his role in Tulsa King and delve into UFC talk. Known for staying in shape by boxing at gyms nationwide, Grillo reveals firsthand stories of Jon Jones dominating training partners in sparring. As excitement builds for UFC 309’s main event between Jones and Miocic, Grillo and the guys break down what fans can expect from these legendary heavyweights at Madison Square Garden.
On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim and Matt are joined by UFC bantamweight Cody Stamann and 15th-ranked welterweight Neil Magny.
Joining first is Stamann, who dives into his extensive experience against high-level fighters and how it gives him an edge against Da’Mon going into this Saturday’s fight on the prelims of the 100th UFC Fight Night card at the APEX.
Shortly thereafter, the guys bring Neil Magny on. With Neil set to take on Carlos Prates in this weekend’s main event, Matt gets the veteran welterweight to share why he has no issue with being matched up with dangerous up-and-comers like Carlos — all while Jim gets Neil to assess the keys to his longevity in a sport that sees him well entrenched into the UFC record books.
On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by featherweight Youssef Zalal and women’s flyweight Veronica Hardy in a show that unpacks the action from this past Saturday’s UFC Edmonton card.
Fresh off his fourth straight submission win, Youssef Zalal uses his interview to discuss what’s changed with him in his second stint in the UFC. Reflecting on what he’s learned from his first go-around with the promotion, Zalal explains how his loss to current champion Ilia Topuria keeps him locked in on his goals for 2025 and beyond.
As Jim and Matt shift their attention to Saturday’s card in Edmonton, the guys particularly focus on matchups that make sense for both Erin Blanchfield and Brandon Moreno following their respective wins.
To round off the episode, flyweight contender Veronica Hardy reflects on her MMA journey and the insights she’s gained from her self-imposed three-year hiatus. Hardy also previews her upcoming matchup on the UFC 309 early prelims against Eduarda Moura.
On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra welcome two dynamic guests ready for Saturday’s fight card in Edmonton in welterweight Mike Malott and heavyweight Derrick Lewis.
Looking to bounce back from his first-ever loss in the UFC, Mike Malott shares how a decade of assistance from a mental coach helps shape his fight game before giving insight into his upcoming showdown against Trevin Giles.
The guys then unpack some of the matchups from Saturday’s UFC Edmonton card before inviting heavyweight fan-favorite Derrick Lewis on to the show to chat about his fight against undefeated rising prospect, Jhonata Diniz.
On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra unpack the major storylines from UFC 308 with three special guests. First up is Syndicate MMA’s head coach John Wood, who is joined by his wife and former UFC flyweight contender Joanne Wood to share insights on the standout performances from the weekend.
Quite familiar with the UFC’s light heavyweight division as the head coach for Khalil Rountree Jr., John Wood offers his perspective on Magomed Ankalaev’s performance and whether or not his win on Saturday showed that he could be a formidable challenger to Alex Pereira’s 205-pound throne.
Then, MMA personality Ben “The Bane” Davis joins the show for his UFC Unfiltered debut. Known for his wit and presence in the MMA community, Davis talks about his own combat sports journey before stating his case for Khamzat Chimaev to get the next middleweight title shot following his statement 1st-round win over Robert Whittaker.
On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra welcome UFC legends Frankie Edgar and Forrest Griffin for a show packed with laughs, insights, and fight talk.
With a combined 25 appearances on Unfiltered, these Hall of Famers bring their unique perspectives on life in and out of the cage.
Frankie Edgar kicks things off, reflecting on his final fight and his new venture as a coach at Frankie Edgar’s Iron Academy — which has its grand opening this Saturday, October 26th. Frankie looks back on his career and his matchups against guys like Rafael Dos Anjos and Max Holloway before explaining what it is that contributes to the longevity of guys like those as they each prepare for fights on this Saturday’s UFC 308 card.
Forrest Griffin joins next to catch up with the guys and discuss his work at the UFC Performance Institute. Before wrapping up, Forrest probes Jim and Matt for their UFC 308 picks before offering some insightful breakdowns of his own.
At long, at last… Jim Norton is back! After doing super cool actor stuff, Matt’s comedic partner in crime makes his glorious return to the show for an episode of UFC Unfiltered that invites middleweight Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez and women’s bantamweight Kayla Harrison on for a pair of chats.
Fresh off a dominant win over Michel Pereira in his first-ever UFC main event, Hernandez explains how his even-keeled demeanor allows him to shake off the pressure. What’s more: a big-name contender surprises Jim and Matt by barging in on the call to vouch for Hernandez’s work ethic!
When Jim and Matt catch up with Kayla Harrison, the 2nd-ranked women’s bantamweight reiterates her full-fledged confidence in the way she matches up against Julianna Peña — so much so that Kayla fires some shots at the newly-crowned champion for dodging the smoke.
