On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim and Matt are joined by two fighters representing different eras of Brazilian greatness. First, surging featherweight Jean Silva drops in for his Unfiltered debut to discuss his standing as a 145-pound title contender after beginning his unblemished 5-0 UFC tenure with each win coming via stoppage. Silva reflects on his statement victory over Bryce Mitchell, how Muay Thai turned his life around, and why he channels an alter ego called “Lord Assassin” every time he fights. Later, UFC legend Amanda Nunes returns for her 14th appearance on the show. Nearly two years removed from retiring on top with a win over Irene Aldana, the soon-to-be UFC Hall of Famer opens up about life outside the Octagon, balancing family and fitness, and what it would mean to dust off her gloves for a title shot against the winner of UFC 316's co-main event between Julianna Peña and Kayla Harrison.

On today's episode, I break down the confusing lightweight title picture, and explain why I think Islam Makhachev needs to fight Ilia Topuria. Then, some people are discrediting Paddy Pimblett's win last weekend by saying Michael Chandler just isn't that good anymore — I'll give you my take. Next, I might have to walk back what I said about Alexander Volkanovski looking old while reclaiming the featherweight title — because he still dominated Diego Lopes. But it got me thinking: How will we look at a veteran like Jon Jones if Tom Aspinall beats him? Then, I'll share my thoughts on Jean Silva reportedly wanting to fight Yair Rodriguez, and what that means for an already uncertain featherweight division.Also, Amanda Nunes may be considering a return from retirement, but I'm not sure you actually want to see her fight again. And finally, the Global Fight League has reportedly cancelled its inaugural events — but is the whole thing really a scam like some are claiming?To support this program, please leave me a review on Apple Podcasts or submit a rating on my Spotify page.CHAPTERS:Makhachev needs to fight Topuria (00:00)Is Paddy that good?

On this episode of Good Guy / Bad Guy…do all the Paddy the Baddy doubters owe him an apology? Well, his dominant win over Iron Michael Chandler at UFC 314 has some legendary fighters issuing an apology for doubting his skills. So, who's next for Pimblett and does he have the juice to reach Conor McGregor Superstardom? Then, “Alexander the Great” or “Alexander the Greatest Featherweight of all time”? The guy's break down whether his big win over Diego Lopes for the Featherweight Title solidifies his spot over Jose Aldo as the undisputed GOAT! Plus, what's the bigger headline, Amanda Nunes' UFC Hall of Fame induction -or- her surprise announcement to return to the UFC?

On today's episode of Good Guy/Bad Guy, Daniel Cormier & Chael Sonnen dive into the recent fight announcements made by Dana White, surrounding UFC 316 on June 7th in Newark, NJ.

How can Sean's camp ensure that the rematch does not go the same way the first fight went? DC provides a unique move that Suga can make to help with his wrestling ahead of June 7. Plus, why does Chael think Pena vs Harrison could have been the main event? Can this fight finally be the one that pulls Amanda Nunes out of retirement.

On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by newly-crowned UFC women's bantamweight champion Raquel Pennington and 15th-ranked lightweight Drew Dober. Nine days removed from a career-defining win over Mayra Bueno Silva for the vacant women's bantamweight title, Pennington reflects on how much she has improved in the five years since her first title shot against Amanda Nunes. The latter part of the interview sees the champion assess the rest of the division — including her thoughts on Julianna Peña's trash-talking ways and whether it's reasonable to expect UFC newcomer Kayla Harrison to be able to cut down to bantamweight after competing well above the weight limit at both 145 and 155 pounds in the past. Shortly after Pennington's interview, Drew Dober hops on the show for his fifth time as a guest on UFC Unfiltered. Dober previews his upcoming fight against Renato Moicano and discusses how the two match up going into Saturday night's co-main event at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.

Kayla Harrison is now a UFC fighter, as she prepares to face former UFC champion Holly Holm at UFC 300 on April 13 in Las Vegas.

UFC CEO Dana White made a big announcement on Tuesday night as it relates to UFC 300, but it likely was not what most fans were expecting as White revealed that the promotion has signed former PFL champion Kayla Harrison, and she will meet former UFC champion Holly Holm at the historic pay-per-view event — not at featherweight, but at bantamweight. MMA Fighting's Mike Heck, Shaun Al-Shatti, and Jed Meshew react to the big news of Harrison's signing, and the matchup with Holm. Additionally, they discuss the many questions surrounding this news, including major concerns about Harrison's ability to make the bantamweight limit, how much it improves the division now championed by Raquel Pennington, the PFL losing one of their biggest stars, along with one of the big fights on the table with Cris Cyborg, if Harrison's arrival could lead to an Amanda Nunes comeback, if Julianna Peña should be worried, and much more.

The Fighter vs. The Writer returns as we react to the fallout from UFC 297 with Alan Jouban joining MMA Fighting senior reporter Damon Martin on the latest episode. We'll discuss the main event fight where Dricus du Plessis dethroned Sean Strickland in a razor-close split decision in the main event. The scorecards were close but did the judges get it right? Plus, how should the judges be informed about accidental fouls like the clash of heads that actually caused the gruesome cut suffered by Strickland midway through the fight? We'll also talk about Raquel Pennington winning the vacant women's bantamweight title and the bigger problems facing that division in 2024 and beyond. A few years ago, the women's bantamweight division was a marquee weight class but with Amanda Nunes and Ronda Rousey gone, the stars have disappeared and it doesn't look like there are any prospects on the rise. We'll also discuss some possible fights for UFC 300 and how we need to handle our expectations for that historic card.

Sean Strickland may have lost the fight and the UFC middleweight title this past weekend at UFC 297, but in Nate Diaz like fashion, he still came out of the event in the court of public opinion as a winner. If the UFC goes ahead and books a fight between new champ Dricus du Plessis and Israel Adesanya at UFC 300, should Strickland vs. Khamzat Chimaev in a title eliminator also be added to the lineup? On an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck reacts to UFC 297, the razor close main event between du Plessis and Strickland, and discusses why Strickland vs. Chimaev makes all the sense in the world. Additionally, listener questions include the somewhat lackluster 2024 opener for the UFC pay-per-view year, Raquel Pennington's bantamweight title win, the possibility of an Amanda Nunes return to the UFC, how the UFC has changed over the last decade-plus, if the WWE's deal with Netflix could impact the UFC in their next TV deal, and much more.

The Fighter vs. The Writer returns with UFC legend Matt Brown and MMA Fighting senior reporter Damon Martin previewing UFC 297 including the main event fight between Sean Strickland and Dricus du Plessis. The trash talk between the fighters has gotten rather ugly but have these two actually crossed a line that has been so dramatically blurred in the UFC in recent months? Brown offers his opinion on the difference between entertaining trash talk and hateful comments. We'll also discuss the struggles the women's bantamweight division has faced with stars like Ronda Rousey and Amanda Nunes retired and the biggest names no longer sitting near the top of the rankings. Brown will also address a potential fight against Jim Miller at UFC 300 after that was mentioned as a possibility after UFC Vegas 84 this past weekend. Of course, Brown loves the idea but he also reveals for the first time that the fight — assuming the UFC books it — could end up being the final bout of his career. Brown explains why he's nearly come to that decision and what the future holds for him. All this and more on the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer!

The Fighter vs. The Writer returns with a special year-end episode with UFC analyst and retired fighter Alan Jouban joining MMA Fighting senior reporter Damon Martin to discuss the biggest moments from 2023. Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski put on a possible Fight of the Year in February as two of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport battled it out in a five round classic. One month later, Jon Jones made his return to the octagon and he finally conquered the heavyweight division while taking out Ciryl Gane in the first round. By June, Amanda Nunes was defending her title and then calling it a career, which dramatically affected two different divisions in the UFC. In September, Sean Strickland pulled off one of the most epic upsets in the history of the UFC when he thumped Israel Adesanya to become middleweight champion.
