On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, lightweight Matt Frevola and welterweight Bryan Battle join Jim Norton and Matt Serra from Paris ahead of their upcoming bouts on Saturday's card. Calling into the show on his third wedding anniversary, Frevola gets candid about how special it is to not only fight in France, but to also be joined by his wife and their three-month old son. Frevola reflects on the support of his close friend and Serra-Longo teammate Merab Dvalishvili before breaking down his mindset going into a fight in enemy territory vs. France's own Fares Ziam. Between guests, the guys talk about Dana White's foray into boxing, reacting to the excitement expressed by both Teddy Atlas and Mike Tyson regarding the UFC CEO and president's recent announcement. Shortly after, Bryan Battle joins the show — and the seven-fight UFC veteran reflects on the six APEX events he's fought along with the one time he fought in his hometown of Charlotte as a way of contrasting how different Saturday's unique experience will be to fight Kevin Jousset in front of a hostile Paris crowd on Saturday.

On this episode of TTP, we break down UFC Paris. Plus, we also chat with Ray Longo about Merab Dvalishvili's recent win. Then Leslie Hernandez pops by to discuss Contender Series.

With Jim Norton out for the day, it's a Serra-Longo type of day on UFC Unfiltered as the great Ray Longo saves the day as guest co-host for an episode featuring lightweight Mike Davis and comedian Mike Glazer. Longo shares his perspective of this past Saturday's UFC Fight Night: Tuivasa vs. Tybura as someone who was in Las Vegas for the duration of the card. While recapping the card, Matt explains what he thinks he could see being the next course of action for Tai Tuivasa now that the Australian heavyweight has been stopped four straight times. Shortly thereafter, Mike Davis hops on the show to recap his 2nd-round submission win on Saturday's card over Natan Levy, using the backend of his interview to call out a popular lightweight similarly jockeying for a spot in the UFC's 155-pound rankings. When Davis leaves the show, Matt and Ray invite Mike Glazer on to talk to the comedian about the recent release of his special, “Life Rules!”, on YouTube. While Glazer's comedy keeps him from being a full-on MMA practitioner, Matt still manages to identify an interesting martial arts discipline that Longo and Glazer have in common. Matt and Ray end the show by sharing their thoughts on the news that Rio de Janeiro's UFC 301 co-main event will see Jose Aldo take on Jonathan Martinez in the Brazilian legend's first MMA fight since retiring after a loss to Merab Dvalishvili in 2022.

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.

On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Ray Longo joins Matt and Jim to recap Saturday's UFC 292 card. To kick off the show, Matt and Ray give their cage-side perspective of what went wrong for Serra-Longo trained bantamweight Aljamain Sterling in his loss to newly crowned UFC bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley in the main event out in Boston. With chatter heating up about O'Malley's first title defense being a rematch against sixth-ranked bantamweight Marlon “Chito” Vera, Matt and Jim state why Merab Dvalishvili could get the next title shot in the UFC's stacked bantamweight division. Proud of Chris Weidman's performance despite his unanimous decision loss to Brad Tavares, Matt and Ray then shift towards a chat on welterweight Ian Machado Garry's win over Neil Magny and the 25-year-old Irishman's decision to call out Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson. After yet another dominant performance from women's strawweight champion Zhang Weili in Saturday's co-main event against Amanda Lemos, Jim wraps up the show by asking the two coaching partners about their thoughts on a hypothetical title fight between the Chinese champion and unbeaten contender Tatiana Suarez.

The crew talks about the Bama Rush Tik Tok phenomenon, the best and most comfortable running shoes and more. Then, Mike tries to sell everyone on a Twitch streamer that simulated every season from 1983 on in NBA 2K -with mixed results from Stu and the Shipping Container. Plus, with UFC 292 on Saturday, Tony is joined by UFC play-by-play legend Jon Anik to preview Sterling vs O'Malley, Boston vs Miami and the infamous Ray Longo. Learn more about your ad choices.

With UFC 292 fight week upon us, Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by middleweight Andre Petroski and UFC play-by-play commentator Jon Anik on today's episode of UFC Unfiltered! Looking to continue his four-fight win streak with a win this Saturday over Gerald Meerschaert at UFC 292, Andre Petroski lets the guys in on his mindset going into this fight and the status of his recovery from his torn rotator cuff. While the Pennsylvania native has his eyes set on Saturday's fight, he explains why he wants Bo Nickal next in the event he's victorious over Meerschaert. When Jon Anik hops on the call, Jim and Matt take it back to this past Saturday's UFC Fight Night: Luque vs. Dos Anjos fight card. The guys each give their thoughts on ways to fix judging in MMA following featherweight veteran Cub Swanson's questionable co-main event victory over Hakeem Dawodu. Excited to call Saturday's fights in his hometown of Boston, Anik dissects the top of the UFC 292 fight card while further explaining why he believes current champion Aljamain Sterling is the UFC's greatest bantamweight of all-time.
