This week on Sparta Chicks Radio you'll meet Ally Orr. Ally brings a unique perspective to the podcast; she is both a competitive Jiu-Jitsu player and an Exercise and Sports Scientist.A talented musician growing up in regional NSW, Ally moved to Sydney at 16 to attend music school. Not long after, her then-boyfriend introduced her to strength training and weight lifting - and the rest, as they say, is history.She then found the sport of Judo before moving onto Jiu-Jitsu and has won (amongst other things) the lightweight Pan Pacific Championship and in 2021, she became  Australian Champion in the 60kg division. At about the same time she discovered her love of combat sports, Ally transferred her studies from music to Exercise and Sports Science. In this conversation Ally and I discuss:* how she transitioned from studying music to exercise and sport science,* where her love of exercise and movement came from (given that she wasn't an active or sporty kid)* what she loves about the sport of Jiu-Jitsu and the common misconceptions about it,* the personal power that grows in women when they are physically strong,* how she manages the fear of being physically hurt* the female athlete triad and why it's common in combat sports* the impact of needing to ‘cut weight' to compete in your weight division and the impact of that on body image and mental health,* whether you can maintain a healthy body image in a sport that requires you to cut or reduce your weight,* the 3 biggest misconceptions she hears that undermine women's health and performance, and* how to find ways to incorporate recovery into your busy life.

Championne du monde de judo. Championne d'Europe. Championne Olympique. Une carrière hors norme.Et pourtant… elle ne se rend pas toujours compte de tout ce qu'elle a accompli.Née prématurée, elle surprend vite par sa vitalité.À 9 ans, ses parents l'inscrivent au judo.Une enfant turbulente, qui se battait sans cesse avec son frère.Un sport de combat pour canaliser son énergie.Très vite, le tatami devient sa place. Là où elle se sent elle-même. Là où son rêve d'ado prend forme : devenir championne. Elle se fait sa place dans un milieu exigeant. Elle enchaîne les titres, tout en poursuivant ses études jusqu'à HEC.Preuve qu'organisation et discipline sont ses alliées depuis toujours. Puis elle devient maman. Un moment que certains auraient vu comme une pause, voire une fin. Mais pour Clarisse, c'était surtout le bon moment. Celui de construire aussi une vie heureuse, au-delà des médailles.Aujourd'hui, elle jongle entre les podiums, son rôle de gendarme et sa vie de maman. Toujours humble, toujours courageuse, toujours joueuse.Prendre du plaisir, même dans l'échec : c'est ça, sa vraie philosophie. Clarisse, c'est la rigueur d'une sportive de haut niveau, la force tranquille d'une maman, et l'humilité d'une femme qui ne réalise pas qu'elle inspire déjà des milliers de personnes.

In the back half of the interview, Elijah's ex-UFC fighter dad joins in to share his perspective as Elijah's trainer and mentor. Listen in as the guys break down the wild action from last weekend's UFC Fight Night and make their picks for Saturday's UFC 319 card!

With a fight card to look forward to, Jim and Matt invite a pair of all-action veterans on to the show in Andre Fili and Roman Dolidze. A longtime friend of the show, Andre Fili returns to UFC Unfiltered for the first time as a father in one of his most thoughtful interviews yet. He talks about the life changes since welcoming his son Valor, how fatherhood has shifted his mindset inside and outside the cage, and his upcoming matchup with Christian Rodriguez. Then, Roman Dolidze joins ahead of his middleweight main event against Anthony Hernandez. He talks about rebounding from back-to-back losses to a strong win streak, what's at stake this weekend, and what it is about the Georgian UFC fighters that keeps them so driven. Stick around as Matt and Jim make their picks for Saturday's UFC Fight Night card!

Today's episode of UFC Unfiltered delivers a powerful mix of rising talent and personal triumph as Jim and Matt welcome UFC featherweight prospect Austin Bashi and DWCS hopeful Jimmy Drago. First up is Bashi, fresh off his first UFC victory — a slick first-round submission over John Yannis. He reflects on bouncing back from his debut loss, chasing a dream he's had since childhood, and what it was like mimicking Alexander Volkanovski in Diego Lopes' camp. Between guests, Jim and Matt break down highlights from UFC Fight Night: Taira vs. Park — including standout performances from Tatsuro Taira, Chris Duncan, Esteban Ribovics, and more. Then, Jimmy Drago joins ahead of his Dana White's Contender Series debut on August 12th. The Yonkers native shares his incredible story — from losing his father, a 9/11 first responder, to battling addiction and surviving eight overdoses. With sobriety, discipline, and grit, Drago turned a goal of just winning one pro fight into a legitimate UFC dream — and he's one win away from making it real when he faces Ty Miller on the first DWCS card of 2025.
