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.

There is no replacing Matt Serra.

Usually on dad duty 50+ weeks a year, Chase shares how his locked-in fight-week mentality has brought out his best performances since moving up to 155 pounds. Having seen many of UFC 319's fighters up close in his role at the UFC Performance Institute, Forrest offers sharp analysis for a comprehensive breakdown of the sneaky-good matchups that round out Saturday's stacked card.

I asked the BIT Crew to nominate their favorite episodes for a special August replay while we are on hiatus.  I selected one of Thea's picks because it went back to season one - when we were all baby holers. She says, "Googlie Wooglie I like a lot because of Sensei Ken, the fun game with cool words, and just love Geoff's Keanu Reeves impersonation, and Keanu Reeves as Abraham Lincoln."   Episode Five has what I consider our best ending. We all break each other—even Billy Merritt. I dare you not to laugh. We'll be back on September 13th with a brand new hole!   ~~ In rabbitHOLE's fifth episode, the BIT CREW educates listeners about some critical issues, including: Googlie Wooglie Mc Dojo Grammar Police  Konrad takes a deep dive into the origins of the term GOOGOL (a one with a hundred zeroes). He starts the BIT CREW off on an improv adventure of surf lingo, organized crime involving unsuspecting UK co-eds, "re-imagining" history, and mispronouncing words. Episode five has our favorite ending so far…we all just lost it – we hope you laugh so much your sides will ache, and your heart goes pitter-pat.

RJ Clifford jumps in as a guest co-host for one of those rare UFC Unfiltered episodes where we talk to a pair of fighters days away from fighting each other. Neil Magny drops in to reflect on his 35th UFC bout and what it means to fight another seasoned vet. Then later, Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos makes his Unfiltered debut with the help of a translator to discuss his mindset heading into the matchup and how he plans to overcome Magny's reach. Between interviews, Jim, Matt, and RJ dive into the recently announced light heavyweight headliner between Dominick Reyes and Carlos Ulberg in Perth. Could it be a #1 contender fight? Reyes is chasing his fourth straight win, while Ulberg looks to solidify his case as the next title challenger after Ankalaev vs. Pereira II.

Jim and Matt kick off the show recapping Saturday's UFC card in Abu Dhabi, where “Matt-stradamus” Serra stays red hot with another perfect night of picks. They react to Reinier de Ridder's razor-close win over Robert Whittaker, Petr Yan's bounce-back performance, and Steven Nguyen's record-setting knockdown spree before welcoming back Davey Grant to discuss his gritty win over Da'Mon Blackshear and what's fueling his late-career surge. Finally, inaugural UFC BJJ welterweight champ Andrew Tackett joins ahead of his first title defense this Thursday. The middle Tackett brother reflects on growing up in a grappling-obsessed family and shares why his aggressive style makes him a fan-friendly champion for a UFC BJJ ruleset already designed to deliver action.

In this episode of The Shintaro Higashi Show, David Kim and newly minted PhD Peter Yu explore the intersection of judo and cutting-edge AI. With Shintaro away, they dive deep into what it would take to quantitatively model grappling as a "game of inches"—from motion capture to video-based simulation, and the promise of building smarter, more personalized training tools using machine learning and embodied AI.

It's a loaded Wednesday on UFC Unfiltered as Jim and Matt welcome two top-10 UFC contenders and gear up for Saturday's UFC Fight Night card in Abu Dhabi! First, 7th-ranked lightweight Mateusz Gamrot joins the show just two months after his dominant win over Ludovit Klein. The American Top Team standout reflects on teammate Dustin Poirier's recent retirement before unpacking his place in the stacked lightweight division's current logjam at the top. Then, 7th-ranked middleweight Jared Cannonier jumps on to preview his August 16th bout with Michael “Venom” Page. Fresh off a 4th-round KO over "RoboCop" that snapped a 2-fight skid, Cannonier compares MVP's style to prior opponents before ultimately putting on his analyst hat with a pick in this Saturday's Whittaker vs. de Ridder main event. The guys wrap things up with three fight picks of their own for Saturday's early-start Fight Night in Abu Dhabi.

An event as wholesome as Dustin Poirier's farewell fight deserves a show just as impactful — so Jim and Matt bring in two people who know “The Diamond” better than most to help unpack all the emotion and action of UFC 318. First, American Top Team head coach Mike Brown shares what it was like cornering Dustin for the final time, reflecting on their journey together from shared fight cards to title runs — and what made Saturday night in New Orleans so unforgettable despite the loss to Max Holloway. Between interviews, Jim and Matt talk through some of their predictions before Lafayette's own Alan Jouban hops on to put a bow on UFC 318. Jouban offers his perspective on the crowd, atmosphere, and standout performances throughout the card. It's a full-circle episode that wraps up UFC 318 the right way.

Battling through a shoulder injury in Round 1, Tuco discusses the payoff of his second-round submission — and the light heavyweight's chemistry with Matt keeps the UFC Hall of Famer laughing the entire way.

On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra welcome back veteran middleweight-turned-welterweight Chris “Action Man” Curtis for his sixth appearance on the show. Energized by no longer having to concede size disadvantages to larger opponents like Roman Kopylov, the 37-year-old Curtis explains why now was the right time to return to 170 pounds. He opens up about uprooting his family to Thailand to live and train overseas ahead of Saturday's pivotal fight with Max Griffin — a durable opponent who hasn't been stopped in nearly a decade. Later, Steve Garcia joins us fresh off a four-mile treadmill run to talk about his co-main event showdown with Calvin Kattar at UFC Nashville. Fully aware of the urgency surrounding Kattar's four-fight skid, Garcia shares his focused mindset and how he's sharpening his game at Jackson Wink as he aims to steal the show and crack the featherweight rankings. Plus, Jim and Matt preview and predict the UFC Nashville main card, including the Derrick Lewis vs. Tallison Teixeira main event before spotlighting a few other matchups fans shouldn't sleep on.

Jim and Matt celebrate 900 episodes of UFC Unfiltered with flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja and surging featherweight Chepe Mariscal. Having perfectly predicted Pantoja's third-round rear-naked choke, Matt heaps praise on the champ — who reflects on his growth at American Top Team as the guys discuss what Joshua Van brings to the table as his next challenger. Fresh off a move from Colorado to Vegas to be closer to the UFC Performance Institute, Mariscal joins in the second half to talk about living the dream he first had as a 9-year-old sneaking into an MMA event. Motivated by his three-month-old baby girl, Chepe shares what might be next as he looks to extend his 8-fight win streak and 5-0 UFC run.
