Joaquin Buckley, comedian Preacher Lawson, predicting UFC Fight Night: Blanchfield vs. Fiorot

With just a few days until the UFC makes its return to Atlantic City for an exciting night of action, Jim Norton and Matt Serra use today’s show to predict some fights from the card and speak to welterweight Joaquin Buckley and comedian Preacher Lawson.

 

With plenty of time until the first interview of the episode, Jim gives an update on the status of his white belt — and Matt hilariously accuses his co-host of “sandbagging” after hearing about Norton’s hesitance to a replacement piece of tape for the stripe on his belt that got ruined by the washing machine.

 

The guys then take a peak at Saturday night’s UFC Fight Night: Blanchfield vs. Fiorot card, with Jim seeking to make up ground in the standings of their head-to-head prediction battle.

 

Fresh off the release of his new special, “My Name Is Preacher”, Preacher Lawson subsequently hops on the show for a chat with Jim and Matt. While talking about his mixed martial arts background, he reflects on his amateur MMA debut and how that experience compares to going up on stage and performing in front of people as a comedian.

 

Busy during a hectic fight week, Joaquin Buckley finally manages to hop on the show at the tail-end of the episode to discuss the reasoning behind his successful move from middleweight to welterweight.

 

After revealing that he has plans to make a special callout after beating Vicente Luque in this Saturday night’s co-main event, Buckley puts Matt on the spot in the hopes of hearing what Matt’s prediction for the fight looks like.

Payton Talbott, Youssef Zalal, guest co-host Phoenix Carnevale

On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra invite Phoenix Carnevale on as a guest co-host for a show that features a pair of winners from over the weekend in bantamweight Payton Talbott and featherweight Youssef Zalal.

 

The show begins with the three co-hosts issuing their takeaways from Rose Namajunas’ unanimous decision victory over Amanda Ribas in Saturday’s women’s flyweight main event at the UFC APEX.

 

Shortly thereafter, the guys are joined by Payton Talbott for a chat that sees the unbeaten bantamweight prospect discuss how he gets into a calm “flow” state that allows him to both perform as a martial artist and excel in various action sports like snowboarding, skateboarding, and surfing. After explaining how DJing has become a newfound passion, Talbott circles back to his MMA future while sharing his thoughts on calling out bantamweight opponents after victory.

 

After Payton leaves, the trio use the time between interviews to share their thoughts on Andre Lima’s decision to follow up his DQ win with a trip to a tattoo parlor to get Igor Severino’s bite mark tattooed on his bicep.

 

Then, Youssef Zalal hops on the show fresh off a statement 2nd-round stoppage win that saw him become the first person to submit Billy Quarantillo in the Octagon.

 

Phoenix looks back on Zalal’s MMA beginnings with LFA as her, Matt and Jim get Youssef to reflect on the lessons he’s learned about himself now that he’s found his way back into the UFC for a second stint.

 

The show wraps up as Matt gets Jim and Phoenix to share their other takeaways from up and down the UFC Fight Night: Ribas vs. Namajunas card.

Amanda Ribas, country musician Michael Ray, UFC Fight Night: Ribas vs. Namajunas picks

Matt Serra and Jim Norton reunite for a Wednesday episode of UFC Unfiltered that sees the two chop it up with 8th-ranked UFC women’s flyweight Amanda Ribas and country musician Michael Ray ahead of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night: Ribas vs. Namajunas card at the APEX in Las Vegas.

 

Matt begins the show with his best attempt at humbly bragging about dominating Jim in the head-to-head fight predictions battle between the two co-hosts.  Shortly after, the guys invite Amanda Ribas onto the show to hear the Brazilian veteran’s thoughts on what it means to finally be headlining a UFC card. Ahead of her first-ever UFC main event, Amanda discusses her thoughts on bouncing back and forth between flyweight and strawweight and why she’s expecting the very best version of Rose Namajunas as the two prepare for an all-action fight at 125 pounds.

 

Not too long after Amanda’s interview ends, country music star and UFC superfan Michael Ray joins the show to reflect on his MMA fandom while talking about his friendship with various UFC fighters. As the conversation shifts to Michael’s music career, the guys talk in depth about the state of the music industry and how Michael has adjusted his strategy of releasing hit records like the one he just dropped two weeks ago called “Nothin’ Else”.

 

Finally, Jim and Matt wrap up the show with three fight picks from atop Saturday night’s card.
