With Matt Serra out for the day, Jim Norton is joined by MMA writer John Morgan for an episode of UFC Unfiltered that sees the guys talk to welterweight Alex Morono and bantamweight Dan Argueta ahead of their fights on Saturday's UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Curtis 2. Looking to maintain his trend of never losing back-to-back fights, Morono opens his interview by reflecting on some stories from his early MMA career — including what it was like to get bit during a fight by his opponent. Then, Alex discusses his mindset going into his 20th UFC fight and breaks down what he thinks about Saturday's fight against a fellow veteran like Court McGee before wrapping things up by talking about what it's like to drive back-and-forth across Texas between the gym he owns in Houston and Dallas' Fortis MMA where he gets coached up by Sayif Saud. When Alex leaves, Jim and John then take a look at this Saturday's card, with some thoughts on the middleweight rematch between Brendan Allen and Chris Curtis in the main event. Finally, Dan Argueta joins the show — Jim and John open the interview by getting the 30-year-old bantamweight to open up on what it's felt like having his two most recent fights end in a no contest. Argueta then shares what Cub Swanson's guidance has meant for him in his career before wrapping up his interview by unpacking the stakes of Saturday's matchup against a hungry fighter in Jean Matsumoto making his UFC debut.
Yes… that REALLY just happened! And if there is one thing we know, it's that the great Matt Serra knows a thing or two about dethroning a champion in a MAJOR upset! On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by MMA coaching mastermind Sayif Saud of Fortis MMA — who helps the guys unpack just how newly-crowned UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland was able to shock the world by dethroning Israel Adesanya at UFC 293. With Strickland's win opening up a multitude of possibilities for the UFC's red-hot middleweight division, the guys mull over the idea of an immediate rematch while discussing whether Adesanya's high fight activity rate plays a factor in what the former champion will do next. Later on, Matt takes us from the top of the card on down with his favorite takeaways from the other fights that happened on this exciting pay-per-view card in Sydney. The guys wrap up the show by circling back to the stakes of Strickland's win and where it stacks up with the greatest championship upsets in UFC history.

As the topic shifts to Paddy Pimblett's co-main event victory over Jared Gordon and the split draw in the vacant light heavyweight title fight between Magomed Ankalaev and Jan Błachowicz, Sayif states his case for how state Athletic Commissions can clean up MMA judging across the board. The guys wrap up the show by talking about which of the 10 consecutive finishes on Saturday's card they found most compelling, featherweight Alexander Volkanovski's quest to become a double champion at lightweight, and much more!

Mookie Alexander & Dayne Fox are here to breakdown the card with hot takes, possible next fights, as well as reactions to the overall event. Sign up for #ESPN+ and watch #UFCVEGAS14: #FELDERVSRDA - #UFCAPEX — Nov. 14th., 2020 at: go.web.plus.espn.com/c/482924/56698…id=BloodyElbow Tonight, Sat., Nov. 14th., 2020, the UFC showcased an event featuring a Lightweight bout between Paul “The Irish Dragon” Felder & ‘RDA’ Rafael dos Anjos in the main event of the UFC VEGAS 14 card. Overall, this 9-bout card saw just 1 swift finish in Rd 1, no subs, 2 exciting KO/TKOs, & 7 decisions, 2 split. Rounding things out, bonuses for putting forth POTN efforts went to Sean Strickland and Khaos Williams; FOTN honors went to Paul Felder vs. Rafael Dos Anjos tonight. What a wild night full of fights we have to share with you! Paul Felder, entered the octagon on five days’ notice, stepping away from the commentary table, as the #6 Best UFC Lightweight, making him an easy favorite, despite having lost his last bout against Dan Hooker at UFC on ESPN+ 26; via Split Decision back in February of this year, however, odds makers had him listed as a slight underdog. Prior to that loss to Hooker, he was on a two-fight win streak. The impressive striker now holds a 17-5 record. The 36-year-old Philly native, was pitted up against our opponent, former Lightweight Champion, the #16 current best Welterweight veteran ‘RDA’ - Rafael dos Anjos; fighting his 30th fight in the UFC over the past 12 years. Our Brazilian combatant, was coming off a two-fight losing streak, holding an impressive 29-13 fight record, and entered the octagon as the favorite. The 36-year-old grappler had a 3” height deficit and 1/2” reach deficit going against him in his efforts to defeat ‘The Irish Dragon’ tonight... but that didn’t matter when it was all said and done, RDA walked away with the ‘W’, via split decision. Directly after the fight, RDA indicated his next bout should be against none other than Conor McGregor. Also on the card, a lightening fast Welterweight scrap for our co-main event; it was an almost instantaneous bout between the younger competitor, 26-year old “Khaos” ‘The Oxfighter’ Williams, who entered the octagon an underdog for his second fight in the UFC, despite having a debut which featured a 30-second knockout; he took on Abdul ‘Judo Thunder’ Razak Alhassan, with a 10-3 fight record, at 35-yrs of age, coming at this bout under the banner of Fortis MMA out of Texas; having lost his last bout against Mounir Lazzaz earlier this year in July, via Unanimous Decision. As if that’s not enough, we also had an exciting, women’s Strawweight tilt between Ashley ‘The Spider Monkey’ Yoder, who faced off against up-and-comer, Miranda ‘Danger’ Granger - which was preceded by a decent, albeit brief undercard (this event saw 8 cancelled bouts by the time the event started).

Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady joins Mika Frankl to talk about his U.S. debut at LFA 89, where he'll face Konnor Kuppe. A former Brave CF champion, who has fought his whole career in the middle-east, but has spent the last four years training at Fortis MMA in Dallas. Al-Selwady talks about the advantages of taking this fight on ten days notice and how he tends to make his fights bloody. He also tells he how he feels the audience-less environment impacts the fights. I also get a sense for how hungry Al-Selwady was to get this opportunity, being nine months removed from his last fight. And of course how did he find MMA and how did it go telling the family he wanted to be a fighter.

... now Fortis MMA is my best friend. No, but seriously. UFC 242 didn't teach us anything new about Khabib Nurmagomedov (who is probably now the #1 p4p fighter in the world), but it gave us a whole lot to think about. Oh, and Justin Gaethje's fighting next week. On today's episode of Heavy Hands: What was up with Dustin Poirier? Freaked out? Ill prepared? Or just unsuited for the matchup? Paul Felder and Carlos Diego Ferreira both showed new skills and excellent gameplans, giving us the card's two best feelgood performances Is Justin Gaethje a bad matchup for Donald Cerrone? Yeah... yeah, probably Teixeira vs Krylov and Crute vs Cirkunov: alright, so maybe light heavyweight isn't getting better, after all ... and more!
