UFC Unfiltered with Jim Norton and Matt Serra The UFC Podcast Network

With a fight card to recap and plenty of short-notice fights to discuss, Jim and Matt are joined by bantamweight Miles Johns fresh off a victory and UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard.

The guys begin by unpacking the action from this past Saturday’s UFC Fight Night: Perez vs. Taira before inviting Miles Johns on to hear what has helped fuel his four-fight unbeaten streak.

After bonding over their shared roles as youth coaches, Matt and Miles discuss why they each love passing on their passion for martial arts to their own kids.

Finally, Jim and Matt wrap up the show with a timely conversation with Mick Maynard regarding the matchmaking process for whirlwind weeks like the one we just had with various injury-related changes to fight cards.

Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by a pair of fighters from this Saturday’s card in bantamweight Brady Hiestand and flyweight Alex Perez.

Joining first is Hiestand, who shares his eager mindset as he seeks to pick up a third straight win after a 14-month layoff from various ailments.

After that, the guys get a chance to talk to one half of the main event in veteran flyweight Alex Perez. Coming from a large family, Perez sheds light on how growing up with a bunch of siblings helped shape him into a tough wrestler before jumping into a career in MMA.

Jim and Matt are joined by a pair of winners from this past Saturday night’s UFC Fight Night: Cannonier vs. Imavov card in Zachary Reese and Punahele Soriano in an episode of UFC Unfiltered that sees the guys recap their favorite moments from their fights.

Fresh off a $50,000 performance of the night bonus, middleweight Zachary Reese hops on to reflect on his lightning fast victory over Julian Marquez and how his approach to fighting lends itself to fights that end in finishes.

In between guests, Jim and Matt recap the action from Saturday night’s card and weigh in on whether referee Jason Herzog’s stoppage was premature in Nassourdine Imavov’s main event victory over Jared Cannonier.

Finally, the guys get a chance to catch up with Punahele Soriano after his dominant, record-breaking UFC welterweight debut.

On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, friend of the show Kevin Holland makes his twelfth appearance on the podcast just days removed from his whirlwind technical submission victory over Michal Oleksiejczuk at UFC 302.

A pop culture junkie at his core, Matt begins the show by sharing his immediate thoughts on the TV debut of The Acolyte and how it shapes up compared to other Star Wars projects.

When Kevin Holland hops on, the UFC veteran recounts how he was able to overcome a quick dose of adversity in Saturday's fight en route to a nasty armbar finish in which he heard his opponent's arm pop. Never one to turn down a fight at either middleweight or welterweight, Holland states his case for a quick turnaround on UFC 303 if called upon.

It's Matt Serra's (belated) 50th birthday! To celebrate, Din Thomas calls in as a surprise guest co-host for a fun episode that also unpacks the action of Saturday's UFC 302 card.

To Matt's surprise, friend-of-the-show Din Thomas makes his long anticipated return with a bang — immediately sharing a trifecta of funny photos to go along with Jim's corny dad jokes poking fun at Matt's old-ish age.

Shortly after, the MMA talk begins as the guys unpack the good and the bad from UFC 302 while discussing their main takeaways. The guys each share their thoughts on what the immediate future holds for both Dustin Poirier and Islam Makhachev after their spirited lightweight title fight came to a wild end with Makhachev's D'arce choke in the fifth and final round.

On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim and Matt are back after a break in honor of Memorial Day for an episode revolving around Saturday's UFC 302 card featuring a pair of fighters on the card in welterweight Phil Rowe and lightweight Grant Dawson.

Having gone a week without UFC action, Jim and Matt waste no time by immediately diving into matchups on the card before ultimately bringing on Phil Rowe as the first guest caller. A former excellent basketball player himself, Rowe delves deep into how he has since found solace in his journey as a professional fighter after initially hoping to break into basketball as a professional. Rowe goes on to explain how he wears his jiu-jitsu black belt with honor and takes grappling matches to help improve his skills for MMA fights like the one he has on Saturday against Jake Matthews.

Shortly thereafter, Grant Dawson joins the show — and to the surprise of no one, Matt immediately asks his fellow Star Wars fan a series of questions about his thoughts on the franchise's new TV show set to drop. As Jim steers the conversation back to Dawson's fight against Joe Solecki on Saturday's prelims, the guys unpack the dynamics of a matchup that Matt calls a "grappler's delight".

Finally, Jim and Matt wrap up the show with three picks atop the pay-per-view card of UFC 302 — and you don't want to miss the BOLD prediction made by one of the two co-hosts for the headlining lightweight title fight between Islam Makhachev and Dustin Poirier.
