Callum Walsh, Da'Mon Blackshear, recapping UFC Fight Night: Vettori vs. Dolidze 2

On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Matt Serra and Jim Norton are joined by two exciting fighters fresh off major wins! First, undefeated Irish boxing sensation Callum Walsh (13-0, 11 KOs) stops by to talk about his statement-making first-round KO on St. Patrick’s Day weekend. As if his rising stardom wasn’t already clear, fans on the street interrupt his interview just to get a moment with him — proving he’s quickly becoming one of boxing’s must-watch prospects. After outlining his goals inside the ring, the Freddie Roach protégé iterates his desire to step into the Octagon one day. Then, Da’Mon Blackshear joins the show fresh off a submission victory over Cody Gibson. When he breaks down his second-round Kimura finish, Matt (aka the “Kimura Savage”) can’t contain his excitement! A BJJ black belt himself, Blackshear uses his Unfiltered debut to introduce himself to listeners as a surfing fighter ready to take on any challengers in the UFC’s bantamweight top-15. Plus, Jim and Matt recap the action from this past Saturday’s explosive card filled with NINE stoppages.
