Jim and Matt are joined by a pair of fighters from this Saturday’s UFC 301 card in Brazil that have yet to lose since signing with the UFC in flyweight Steve Erceg and middleweight Caio Borralho.

Erceg begins his interview by recounting the funny story of where he was when he found out he’d be getting a title shot against Alexandre Pantoja. Fully aware of the fact that the fans in Rio won’t be on his side, the Australian flyweight explains why he’s embracing the hostility going into the first main event of his career.

After making some fight picks between interviews, Caio Borralho returns to the show to share his thoughts on how cool it is to follow up a fight in São Paulo with a fight on Saturday’s UFC 301 card in Rio de Janeiro underneath a legend like José Aldo.

Finally, Jim wraps up the show with a bold prediction in hopes of narrowing Matt’s wide lead in their head-to-head fight pick standings.

Jim and Matt are joined by two longtime friends of the show in UFC featherweight Aljamain Sterling and Beneil Dariush for today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered.

Calling in first is Aljamain Sterling, who expresses his honest thoughts on those downplaying the outcome of his dominant UFC featherweight debut against Calvin Kattar at UFC 300. Understanding that he’s likely not next in line for the 145-pound title shot, Aljo explains why the next best fight to make is him against Brian Ortega for a top featherweight contender spot.

Shortly after Sterling’s call ends, the guys invite Beneil Dariush on the show to congratulate the lightweight veteran for being awarded the 2024 Forrest Griffin Community Award — an award that recognizes a UFC athlete for their exceptional volunteer/charity work and the meaningful impact their efforts have on the community.

Beneil wraps up his interview by filling the guys in on his state of mind coming off two losses and how he plans to bounce back into the win column.

Finally, Matt wraps up the show by “humbly” pointing out how much better he did than Jim picking winners from this past Saturday’s UFC Fight Night: Nicolau vs. Perez card.

On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by a pair of fighters on this Saturday’s card in women’s flyweight Ariane Lipski and men’s lightweight Austin Hubbard.

Riding a three-fight winning streak going into Saturday’s fight against Karine Silva, Lipski outlines how she’s managed to stay even-keeled through the ups and downs of her career — and one tidbit from her favorite book comes as a hilarious shock to Matt!

In between interviews, Jim reacts to the breaking news of UFC 304’s return to Manchester, England before Matt eventually takes the conversation to his thoughts on Colby Covington’s stance on fighting Ian Machado Garry.

When Austin Hubbard joins the show, he and Matt bond over their respective stints in The Ultimate Fighter house. Hubbard then talks through how he battled adversity to return to the UFC for a second go-around.

Finally, the guys end the show with some predictions from Saturday’s UFC Fight Night: Nicolau vs. Perez card, with Jim looking to make up substantial ground in the head-to-head standings.
