    Uriah Hall, Asim Zaidi, recap of UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Royval 2

    Uriah Hall, Asim Zaidi, recap of UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Royval 2

    On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by longtime UFC middleweight contender Uriah Hall and Karate Combat president Asim Zaidi.

     

    The guys begin the show by reflecting on the action from over the weekend in Mexico City — breaking down both their accurate and inaccurate picks made in last Wednesday's episode ahead of UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Royval 2 card.

     

    Before Uriah Hall joins the show, Jim takes a victory lap for his spot-on prediction of UFC featherweight Brian Ortega submitting Yair Rodriguez in the third round and dishes his thoughts on the three differing scorecards that ultimately gave Brandon Royval the upset victory over former UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno.

     

    Now 39 years old, Uriah Hall reflects on his UFC accomplishments and ponders his next career moves — with special consideration given to acting and fighting-related endeavors.

     

    Fresh after hearing Uriah express his willingness to revisit a fight against Darren Till, Jim and Matt stir the pot by asking Karate Combat president Asim Zaidi about the viability of that fight — a grudge match that Zaidi acknowledges as a possibility for the exciting promotion.

     

    A jiu-jitsu black belt under Royce Gracie, Zaidi reflects on the journey that led him from competing to his present-day roles as both the head coach of his Goat Shed gym and the new face of a promotion looking to bring more prestige to the world of karate.

    Handing out 2023 UFC awards with Kevin Iole, catching up with Michael Irvin

    Handing out 2023 UFC awards with Kevin Iole, catching up with Michael Irvin

    The guys waste no time bringing on Iole to help dive into several different categories for the best of 2023 — including upset of the year, fight of the year, fighter of the year, submission of the year, and others!

     

    Shortly after Iole leaves, Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin makes his triumphant return to UFC Unfiltered with emphatic energy. Matt and Jim find themselves captivated by Irvin’s extremely quotable phrases as they catch up with the former Dallas Cowboys legend in an insightful conversation that touches on how MMA has seen a spike in overall athleticism.

    UFC 290 Recap! Round-Up with Paul Felder & Michael Chiesa

    UFC 290 Recap! Round-Up with Paul Felder & Michael Chiesa

    Paul Felder and Michael Chiesa are back at it again on this episode of UFC Round-Up!

     

    To start off the show, Michael gives an update on how camp is going in preparation for his bout against welterweight Kevin Holland at UFC 291 in a few weeks. Next, the guys give their initial thoughts and takeaways from this past Saturday’s UFC 290 PPV, including Alexander Volkanovski’s dominant win over Yair Rodriguez to unify the featherweight belt. Following that, the pair hit on the co-main event, where Alexandre Pantoja was able to win the flyweight belt over Brandon Moreno in a close fight which was one of the best fights of the year. Next, the duo break down Dricus Du Plessis’ upset win over middleweight Robert Whittaker.

     

    Then, the duo answer 5 rounds of fan questions.  

    1. What is Ilia Topuria’s best game plan to beat Volk?

    2. As much as I love Brandon Moreno and how much of a classic that fight was, time for some new blood. No immediate rematch, right?

    3. What do you do with Bo Nickal at this point? He’s made easy work of everyone put in front of him so far but is still new to the sport. Do you continue a gradual ascent or toss him in the deep end with someone like Kelvin Gastelum or Jack Hermansson?

    4. How difficult is it to fight with a broken or fractured bone and have you done that yourselves? Couldn’t believe Dan Hooker won that third round so handedly with the wrist break.

    5. Do you think it’s more beneficial for a fighter to earn their way into the UFC through Dana White’s Contender Series or The Ultimate Fighter?

     

    To wrap up the show, the guys give a shoutout to Robbie Lawler as he won his retirement fight against Niko Price by KO in 38 seconds.

    UFC 290 Preview! Round-Up with Paul Felder & Michael Chiesa

    Paul Felder and Michael Chiesa are back at it again on this episode of UFC Round-Up!

     

    To start off the show, the guys preview Saturday’s UFC 290 main event as featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski takes on interim featherweight champion Yair Rodriguez. The pair also preview the co-main event between flyweight champion Brandon Moreno and challenger Alexandre Pantoja.

     

    Then, the duo answer 5 rounds of fan questions.  

    1. Have we got recency bias claiming that Volk is the featherweight GOAT?

    2. Does the winner of Dricus Du Plessis vs. Robert Whittaker make the quick turnaround and fight Israel Adesanya in September? Does Sean Strickland fill the September spot and get his title shot and the winner of this weekend waits to fight later in the year?

    3. If Bo Nickal beats Tresean Gore as easily as the rest of his opponents, is it time for a Gerald Meerschaert type test? Does the UFC slow play or try to catapult him into the rankings due to such an exciting prospect?

    4. Do you see any of the underdogs in the main card winning? If so, how do you see them winning?

    5. What’s the funniest moment of someone confidently telling you “what I would do in a fight is” and then demonstrating the strangest, worst, jankiest technique you’ve ever seen?

    Looking ahead to UFC 290 w/ Robert Whittaker & Niko Price

    Looking ahead to UFC 290 w/ Robert Whittaker & Niko Price

    International Fight Week is FINALLY here! Matt Serra and Jim Norton kick off the fight week festivities with an incredible show that features two fighters scheduled to fight on UFC 290’s stacked card — former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker and veteran welterweight Niko Price.

     

    Joining the show first is Niko Price, who humbly dishes his thoughts on the honor he feels being able to fight a living legend like Robbie Lawler in the former UFC welterweight champion’s final fight before sailing off into retirement.

     

    Matt and Jim then recap the action from last Saturday’s UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs. Magomedov card while waiting for Robert Whittaker to join the show.

     

    Once Whittaker is on, the former middleweight champion wraps up the show by explaining how the stylistic differences between himself and 5th-ranked middleweight contender Dricus Du Plessis will dictate the terms of their fight on the main card of Saturday’s intriguing pay-per-view.

    Merab Dvalishvili, UFC 284 recap w/ guest co-host Sayif Saud

    On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim and Matt are joined by two friends of the show in bantamweight contender Merab Dvalishvili and guest co-host Sayif Saud to talk all things UFC 284.

     

    Merab tells the guys about where he stands in training camp with a little less than a month until his upcoming fight against Petr Yan. Having already seen what Yan looked like against fellow Serra-Longo fighter Aljamain Sterling in a pair of bantamweight championship fights, Matt explains why he thinks Merab is an even tougher stylistic matchup for Yan than Sterling was.

     

    The topic then shifts to the all-time classic battle in the UFC 284 main event featuring featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and lightweight champion Islam Makhachev. As Jim sings the praises of City Kickboxing’s risk-taking champions, Sayif explains why the UFC’s pound-for-pound number 1 and 2 fighters can confidently feel like they raised their stock on Saturday night.

     

    Sayif mixes in some talk about Ciryl Gane’s matchup against Jon Jones at UFC 285 before wrapping up the show with why he thinks his fighter Brandon Moreno’s dreams of defending his flyweight championship in Mexico City against rival Alexandre Pantoja would make for an electric co-main event to Alexander Volkanovski vs. Mexico’s Yair Rodríguez following Yair’s interim featherweight title win on Saturday night against Josh Emmett.
