Podcast appearances and mentions of Din Thomas

On today's episode, I tell you why I have a problem with Islam Makhachev basing his future on the outcome of Belal Muhammad vs. Jack Della Maddalena. And for everyone doubting Kamaru Usman ... have you forgotten who Kamaru Usman is?Then,  I look ahead to Bo Nickal vs. Reinier de Ridder this weekend at UFC Des Moines, but apparently, Nickal weighed needs to cut a considerable amount of weight this week. I'll also tell you whether I agree with Vegas, who has Nickal as the heavy favorite. Next, UFC analyst Din Thomas thinks Jon Jones may never take the fight with Tom Aspinall, and I can tell you this matchup is definitely losing steam. Also, Eddie Hearn told Ariel Helwani that MMA is struggling, and I disagree. And finally, I have some PR advice for Francis Ngannou after hearing his name floated as a potential opponent for Eddie Hall.To support this program, please leave me a review on Apple Podcasts or submit a rating on my Spotify page.CHAPTERS:Makhachev's future (00:00)Doubting Kamaru Usman (12:11)Nickal weighs in at 222 pounds (22:29)Nickal vs. RDR (30:59)de Ridder respects du Plessis (39:48)Din Thomas: Jones may never fight Aspinall (47:37)Eddie Hearn: MMA in a recession (57:13)PR advice for Ngannou (01:04:56)

On this episode of UFC Unfiltered, Matt Serra teams up with special guest co-host Din Thomas to break down the action from last Saturday's UFC Fight Night: Royval vs. Taira. The two recap Brandon Royval's thrilling performance in his victory over Tatsuro Taira and discuss what it means for the flyweight title picture. They also analyze other key matchups from the event and share their take on the Fight Night's top moments. The highlight of the episode comes when rising middleweight star Torrez Finney calls in. Two weeks after securing his UFC contract with a third win on Dana White's Contender Series, Finney reflects on his transition from Division 1 football to MMA. He opens up about his decorated high school wrestling background and how his journey back to combat sports after a promising football career led him to the UFC. Finney also discusses the key influences in his life and training that have shaped him into the undefeated fighter he is today.

Alex Pereira did it again, as he knocked out a game Khalil Rountree in the main event of UFC 307 to retain the UFC light heavyweight title. "Poatan" now has options galore, so is sticking around at 205 the way to go, or should he move up to heavyweight to entice Jon Jones or Stipe Miocic to stick around? On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses the fallout of this past Saturday's pay-per-view event, comparing Pereria's run to any other we've seen in the UFC, Julianna Pena regaining the women's bantamweight title, whether or not Raquel Pennington was robbed, and other storylines from the card. Additionally, topics include this Saturday's UFC Vegas 98 event headlined by Brandon Royval vs. Tatsuro Taira, PFL's pay-per-view price, Donn Davis continuing to frustrate the MMA community with his comments, and much more.

We all are, that is normal, but in these cases it was almost like they all agreed despite all being wrong. No upsets by the way. They are massive underdogs for good reason usually.

Could Din Thomas be the most reliable man in UFC Unfiltered history? Well, it turns out all he needs is a mic and a pair of headphones — because days removed from cornering welterweight Sean Brady to victory in this past Saturday's main event, Din moves heaven and earth to demonstrate his loyalty by calling in from the AIRPORT to save the day as today's guest co-host. Calling in first is Urijah Faber — who discusses his numerous post-fighting career ventures and how they've all come from a place of wanting to help the sport grow. A pioneer of the lower weight classes, Faber reflects on his early MMA days before reveling in the fact that the sport has evolved to a point that bantamweights are headlining a fight card at a one-of-a-kind venue like the Sphere. With this Saturday's main event in mind, Urijah offers some intriguing insight on the stylistic matchup between Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O'Malley. Shortly after Urijah hops off, the guys invite Sean Brady on to the show to get the Philly fighter's reaction to having Din in his corner for his decisive victory in this past Saturday's main event against Gilbert Burns. Looking to get back atop the welterweight division, Brady doesn't hesitate to call out a few opponents that he'd be willing to fight in his next fight.

On this episode of Good Guy / Bad Guy…From callout to title shot? First, Caio Borralho called out #5 ranked Middleweight Jared Cannonier when he wasn't even in the top 10. Then, he got the fight, beat him, and called out the Champ Dricus Du Plessis! Now, the leader of the Fighting Nerds could soon see himself at the top of the Middleweight Food Chain fighting for the title. DC & Chael are breaking down the importance of the callout and revealing the worst callouts of their careers! Plus, the UFC's only Coach-Analyst Din Thomas joins the show to pull back the curtain on everything…from the Do's and Don'ts during fight camps to what could make his former student the GOAT Amanda Nunes come out of retirement.

Today's episode of UFC Unfiltered is jam-packed with laughter as Din Thomas rejoins the show to "fill in" (we'll explain later) for an episode that features featherweight Julian Erosa and actor Lewis Tan. Fresh off a victory on Saturday's card in Denver over Christian Rodriguez, Erosa discusses how he managed to pull off his second straight 1st-round guillotine. Then, Matt and Din bond with Erosa over their shared experience as alums from The Ultimate Fighter. Just when Matt thinks he's ready to talk to an actor with superhero experience... surprise, it's Jimmy! Pleased with his heroic return from a flight that landed early enough to join the show, Jim Norton gets to wrap up the show as part of the conversation with Lewis Tan — a lifelong MMA fan who describes how his own martial arts background shaped his current place as a burgeoning action movie star. Finally, the guys wrap up the show by delivering their takeaways from this past weekend's UFC Fight Night: Namajunas vs. Cortez.

It's Matt Serra's (belated) 50th birthday! To celebrate, Din Thomas calls in as a surprise guest co-host for a fun episode that also unpacks the action of Saturday's UFC 302 card. To Matt's surprise, friend-of-the-show Din Thomas makes his long anticipated return with a bang — immediately sharing a trifecta of funny photos to go along with Jim's corny dad jokes poking fun at Matt's old-ish age. Shortly after, the MMA talk begins as the guys unpack the good and the bad from UFC 302 while discussing their main takeaways. The guys each share their thoughts on what the immediate future holds for both Dustin Poirier and Islam Makhachev after their spirited lightweight title fight came to a wild end with Makhachev's D'arce choke in the fifth and final round.

Back home after filming with Dana White and Din Thomas in Toronto, Matt Serra returns to UFC Unfiltered for an episode that sees him and Jim Norton dish their UFC 297 takeaways; with middleweight Chris Curtis hopping on at the tail-end of the show! Jim and Matt work from the top of Saturday's card on down for a full-fledged recap of the card in Toronto — including Neil Magny's epic comeback, Raquel Pennington's women's bantamweight title victory, and Sean Strickland's close, split-decision loss to Dricus Du Plessis in the main event for the middleweight belt. Fresh off a win over Marc-Andre Barriault on Saturday's main card, Chris Curtis calls in to discuss what it was like fighting on the same card as his friend and teammate, Sean Strickland. A veteran of the fight game at 36 years old, Curtis sheds light on his recovery process and how soon he feels he can turn around and accept another fight.

With Jim Norton out for the day, Din Thomas makes his first UFC Unfiltered appearance of 2024 on a show that sees lightweight Jim Miller and bantamweight Ricky Simon call in ahead of their fights on Saturday. The guys waste no time by bringing Jim Miller on the show almost instantly for a chat that sees the 40-year-old veteran reiterate his plans to fight a big name at UFC 300 after Saturday's fight against Gabriel Benitez. As Jim talks about his passion for hunting, Din and Matt go down the rabbit hole of a hilarious hypothetical scenario in which Matt had to hunt for food instead of scouring for pizza. Almost immediately after Jim Miller leaves the show, Ricky Simon hops on the call to discuss his mindset following a loss to Song Yadong that snapped his five-fight winning streak. Finally, Matt and Din wrap up the show by taking a look at Saturday's card at the UFC APEX headlined by the Magomed Ankalaev vs. Johnny Walker rematch at light heavyweight.

With Jim Norton out for the day, the one and only Din Thomas steps on up as a guest co-host for Wednesday's episode of UFC Unfiltered alongside Matt Serra for chats with UFC lightweight Mateusz Gamrot and pop culture critic Kristian Harloff! After a brief introduction to the show, Matt and Din waste no time bringing Gamrot on the show to talk to him about last Saturday's TKO win over Rafael Fiziev. The sixth-ranked lightweight offers his best wishes to Fiziev in his recovery before ultimately outlining his plans inside the stacked 155-pound division, including his reasoning for why he wants to fight former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira. When Gamrot leaves the show, Din and Matt take a moment to dish their thoughts on the six fighters who earned a UFC contract on Tuesday's Dana White's Contender Series episode before breaking into a discussion about why Tony Ferguson's losing skid is still no reason for unranked Paddy Pimblett to look at 'El Cucuy' as an easy matchup in the young lightweight's first fight back from ankle surgery. Matt turns into a kid in a candy store when pop culture expert and movie/TV critic Kristian Harloff hops on the show to compare notes on recently released shows and movies that Matt and Din have watched.

What happens when a comedic duo like Matt Serra and Din Thomas are left in charge of an episode featuring not one, but TWO outspoken guest fighters in Bryce Mitchell and Al Iaquinta? Well, some might say it'd give you one of the WILDEST episodes in UFC Unfiltered history — and for what it's worth, we'd definitely agree! With Jim Norton out for the day, Din Thomas serves as co-pilot for a Monday episode that begins with featherweight contender Bryce Mitchell talking about his place in the division before morphing into Bryce's full-fledged investigation into whether the song “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” can be supported by science. When Mitchell leaves, the guys are then joined by Serra-Longo's own Al Iaquinta, who opens up on what's keeping him busy while away from the cage before answering a few of Din's questions about if there are any veteran opponents out there who could lure him back into the Octagon. Finally, the guys pay their respects to the great career of UFC featherweight Chan Sung Jung and how the legendary martial artist lived up to his “The Korean Zombie” nickname in the final fight of his career despite losing to Max Holloway in Saturday's UFC Fight Night event in Singapore.

Fresh off the heels of an incredible International Fight Week, Matt Serra is joined by guest co-host Din Thomas for a recap of all things UFC 290 with newly crowned flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja and potential flyweight title challenger Brandon Royval. Joining the show first is Brandon Royval, who recounts what it was like serving as the backup fighter for Saturday's flyweight title fight between Brandon Moreno and Alexandre Pantoja. Riding a three-fight winning streak, the UFC's fourth-ranked flyweight talks about how he feels reenergized after his shoulder surgery and is ready to avenge his losses to Moreno and Pantoja. Then, Alexandre Pantoja hops on the show to express his gratitude for his family, teammates and coaches who've supported him on the journey that led him to the top of the flyweight division after his third victory over Brandon Moreno. Din and Matt wrap up the show with the rest of their thoughts on UFC 290's card, with particular praise for the performances of featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and the incredible manner in which Robbie Lawler closed his storybook career.

With Jim Norton out for the day, the honorable Din Thomas swoops in to save Wednesday's episode of UFC Unfiltered as a guest co-host alongside Matt Serra for chats with women's strawweight Gillian Robertson and country music star Michael Ray! Without Jim to steer the ship, Matt opens the show with his trademark Serra-style, beginning with a show-opening interview with Gillian Robertson that's made even more interesting considering that Din Thomas has guided her MMA career since she was 16 years old. Robertson wraps up the conversation by discussing her mindset as she inches closer to a showdown with 15th-ranked women's strawweight Tabatha Ricci on the prelims of Saturday's UFC Fight Night: Emmett vs. Topuria. Shortly thereafter, country music star and devoted MMA fan Michael Ray joins the show to dish his two cents on the exciting matchups the UFC has booked for this summer while promoting the release of his “Dive Bars & Broken Hearts” six-song EP set to hit stores and streaming services this Friday. Finally, Din and Matt conclude the show with picks for Saturday's featherweight main event between Josh Emmett and Ilia Topuria, the women's flyweight co-main event between Amanda Ribas and Maycee Barber, and a sleeper prelim scrap between welterweights Neil Magny and Phil Rowe.
