Jim Norton and Matt Serra welcome two lightweights to today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered as 25-year-old Gauge Young and surging veteran Alexander Hernandez join the show.

Fresh off his second straight UFC win, Gauge Young checks in for his first appearance on the podcast to break down his split decision victory over Thiago Moises. He discusses bouncing back from a tough opening round, trusting his adjustments, and why he’s confident he belongs at this level.

Then, Alexander Hernandez returns to the show riding a five-fight winning streak at lightweight. He reflects on the breakthrough changes to his team that sparked his current career turnaround — detailing what’s clicked for him on this run as he looks to carry the momentum into Saturday’s showdown against Rafa Garcia.

Plus, Jim and Matt react to UFC Winnipeg — including a look back at Gilbert Burns’ career following his retirement after a knockout loss to Canada’s Mike Malott in the main event.

Jim Norton and Matt Serra take a closer look at this Saturday’s UFC Winnipeg card with two fighters slated for main card action in Charles Jourdain and Dennis Buzukja.

First, Jourdain joins ahead of his co-main event against Kyler Phillips to discuss how his move down to bantamweight has unlocked a new level of focus as he seeks a third straight stoppage win in a loaded division.

Then, Buzukja returns as he prepares for his first fight in over a year, breaking down the challenges of a long layoff and what to expect in his matchup against dangerous newcomer Marcio Barbosa.

Plus, Matt makes up for two weeks of not predicting any winners by calling his shot on a few extra fights on top of Jim’s prediction for the weekend.

Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by a pair of winners from Saturday’s UFC 327 card as featherweight Aaron Pico and welterweight Kevin Holland call in.

Fresh off his first UFC win, Pico breaks down how sticking to a disciplined, footwork-heavy game plan helped him neutralize a dangerous counterpuncher in Patricio Pitbull. Jim also suggests a few potential ranked featherweight opponents as Pico looks to rewrite any lingering narratives from his debut loss to Lerone Murphy.

Then, Kevin Holland returns for his 16th appearance on the show following his bounce-back win over Randy Brown. Holland reflects on what went right, what he could’ve done better, and updates the guys on life outside the cage — including his ever-evolving cowboy lifestyle.

Don’t miss as Jim and Matt react to the UFC 327 card from top to bottom — including a spirited debate over whether Jiří Procházka showed mercy in his vacant title fight loss to Carlos Ulberg in last Saturday’s main event.
