Episode Brendan Allen, Khaos Williams, McGregor vs. Holloway reaction Cover

Beschreibung

No shortage of topics to discuss on today’s UFC Unfiltered, as Jim Norton and Matt Serra recap an exciting Fight Night card filled with finishes and react to the announcement of Conor McGregor’s return to the Octagon against Max Holloway at UFC 329 on July 11. But first, Jim and Matt are joined by 4th-ranked middleweight Brendan Allen ahead of his June 6th co-main event against Edmen Shahbazyan at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas. Allen explains why he accepted a risky matchup against an unranked opponent despite knowing a loss could jeopardize his place near the top of the division. Between interviews, the guys dive deeper into McGregor vs. Holloway — debating whether Holloway’s activity is enough to make him the rightful favorite against a bigger McGregor in a non-title main event at a new weight class for Max. Khaos Williams calls in from sunny Las Vegas fresh off his first-round knockout win over Nikolay Veretennikov, with a special Jamahal Hill cameo kicking off the interview. Khaos reflects on how far he’s come since his younger days, emphasizing the importance of paying it forward and being a living example of perseverance for the kids he now mentors.

Episode Brandon Royval and Shane Collins Beyond the Octagon Cover

Brandon Royval and Shane Collins Beyond the Octagon

After a second successful event in Baku in as many years, Jim and Matt are joined by Brandon Royval and Shane Collins. The boys talk about wins, losses, and life outside the Octagon. After three years away from the show, perennial flyweight contender Brandon Royval, stops by to discuss his IFW bout against Lone’er Kavanagh. Nearing the end of his longest fight camp, Royval thinks a win could catapult him into title contention once more. Moving away from business talk, the trio play around with assigning fight songs and movie comparisons. Then, Shane Collins makes his Unfiltered debut just a week after his inaugural UFC bout. Although Shane just made his first walk to the Octagon, he’s no stranger to the UFC atmosphere after revealing he’s cornered multiple fighters. That experience provided a natural boost in the dominant decision win.
