Matt Serra and guest co-host Ben “The Bane” Davis hold it down on today's UFC Unfiltered, starting with MMA media veteran RJ Clifford. The guys bring RJ on to unpack Ilia Topuria's three-fight run to superstardom before analyzing what it might take for someone to beat the promotion's newest two-division champion. Clifford also dishes on Pantoja's dominance and whether Joshua Van has the formula to dethrone the Brazilian flyweight king. Later, Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett joins to address rumors about a matchup with Justin Gaethje in August and speaks candidly about the history of his rivalry with Topuria. He walks through the lightweight Top 10 to explain why he's worthy of the next title shot, then reiterates he's ready to take on whoever if the promotion decides he needs one more win. Matt wraps up the interview with some girl-dad advice to Paddy the…Daddy — who is now a father of twin daughters himself. With no fights this weekend, Ben and Matt close things out with some laughs to send the Unfiltered Army into the Fourth of July weekend with a smile.

UFC 317 delivered in a big way with highlight-reel finishes, breakout performances, and a star-making moment for Ilia Topuria — and guest co-host Kevin Iole is on the mic with Matt Serra (while Jim Norton is out) to break it all down. The episode kicks off with featherweight knockout artist Jose Miguel Delgado, fresh off a 26-second finish of Hyder Amil. The Arizona native talks about training with elite teammates at MMA Lab and explains why he's calling his shot for a clash with William Gomis at September's Noche UFC card. Matt and Kevin then react to Topuria's viral knockout of Charles Oliveira and what it means for the future of the lightweight division. Later, undefeated welterweight Jacobe Smith joins the show to break down his submission win over veteran Niko Price — the first of his career. The 29-year-old reflects on his All-American wrestling days at Oklahoma State and how Coach Sayif Saud has helped mold him into a complete mixed martial artist.

Paul Schreiner began training Jiu-Jitsu in the late 1990s in Santa Cruz, California, under Claudio França and Garth Taylor. In the early 2000s, he spent significant time in Brazil, where he trained and competed extensively, becoming one of the few American athletes of that era to earn a podium finish at the World Championships held in Brazil.With over two decades of teaching experience, Paul spent 14 years at the Marcelo Garcia Academy in New York City, where he played a key role in developing one of the most successful teams in modern Jiu-Jitsu. As part of the MGJJ coaching staff, he helped guide athletes like Bernardo Faria and Dominyka Obelenyte—contributing to the academy becoming the first to produce World Champions in both the black belt weight and absolute divisions for men and women in the same year.Before his time at MGJJ, Paul taught at American Kickboxing Academy alongside Dave Camarillo, co-founded Kaijin MMA with Garth Taylor, and launched a Jiu-Jitsu program at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino.Known for his focused, thoughtful, and “non-denominational” approach to teaching, Paul continues to view Jiu-Jitsu as a lifelong, daily practice. He now lives in Los Angeles, where he recently opened Frogtown Jiu-Jitsu—a new space dedicated to sharing the art and philosophy of Jiu-Jitsu with a growing community.Learn more at FrogtownJJ.comDon't forget to like, comment, and subscribe!Sponsored by TACFIT.com “The World's Smartest Workout” Açai Jungle Cafe “Your neighborhood Paradise” AcaiJungleCafe.com

First, Beneil Dariush returns for his 12th Unfiltered appearance to reflect on his 18-month layoff and the road back after a tough 2023.

Then, fan-favorite Terrance McKinney stops by to talk about life after recently getting married, evolving under new coaches at Fusion X-Cel, and what a win over Viacheslav Borschev could mean for his momentum.

(PLEASE NOTE: Andrew's audio is slightly compromised in this episode.) SUMMARY In this episode, Adam Beckley shares his journey through martial arts, beginning from a challenging childhood marked by bullying and poverty in rural Vermont. He recounts how a pivotal moment watching a martial arts film ignited his passion for self-defense and empowerment. Despite facing obstacles in accessing training, Adam's determination led him to discover a sense of belonging and purpose in martial arts. His experiences highlight the transformative power of community, mentorship, and resilience in overcoming life's challenges. In this conversation, Adam Beckley shares his journey through martial arts, detailing his struggles with back pain and how Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu became a transformative force in his life. He discusses the impact of the pandemic on his training and community, the growth of his martial arts school, and the importance of teaching methods that connect with students. Adam emphasizes the value of perseverance in martial arts and the lifelong benefits it brings. TAKEAWAYS The impact of bullying on self-esteem and confidence. The challenges of accessing martial arts training as a child. The transformative power of mentorship in martial arts. The value of competition as a means of self-assessment. Training in martial arts can be a motivator to stay active. The pandemic disrupted training but led to new opportunities. Teaching martial arts requires understanding how students learn. Making training fun increases student engagement and retention. Grappling in Jiu-Jitsu is calming compared to striking. Support from the community can lead to unexpected opportunities. Martial arts knowledge is a lifelong asset that can't be taken away.
In this episode, we're joined once again by Giles Garcia, head coach of Ronin Grappling in Glasgow, to tackle the complex topic of living your values in Jiu-Jitsu. Giles explores the challenges coaches and students face when trying to uphold personal and gym-wide values, especially in situations involving discrimination, safety, and accountability. Giles shares candid experiences from his own gym, emphasizing the importance of fostering a culture rooted in inclusion, respect, and trust. Giles dives into how values must be enforced consistently, even when it's uncomfortable or financially inconvenient, and how both coaches and students have the power—and responsibility—to speak up when those values are threatened.Follow Giles on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/el_guancheTrain with Giles at Ronin Grappling in Glasgow:https://roningrappling.com/Learn online with Giles at BJJ Codex:https://www.bjjcodex.com/Mental models discussed in this episode:Normalizationhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/normalization/First Principleshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/first-principles/The Golden Rulehttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/golden-rule/Precommitmentshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/precommitments/Paradox of Tolerancehttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/paradox-of-tolerance/Don't forget to check out BJJ Mental Models Premium!If you love the podcast, you'll definitely love our premium membership offerings.

What's up, friends? This week on the podcast, I welcome back David Riedman—Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, writer, and creator of the Rules of BJJ Substack. In this episode, David breaks down key topics from his articles, including what every grappler should know before stepping onto the mats for the first time. We explore the dangers of mindless drilling and the difference between volume and intentionality in training. David also unpacks how analytics and data can shape the future of Jiu-Jitsu performance, offering a look at how elite teams already apply metrics (whether consciously or not). Plus, we dive into the parallels between surfing and BJJ, and how his time on the waves helped him better understand flow, pressure, and presence on the mats. Whether you're a white belt or a black belt, this episode delivers practical advice, nuanced discussion, and thoughtful reflections that will sharpen your training and deepen your appreciation for the art.

Melissa uses her first time on the show to discuss her journey into the world of professional martial arts.
