Jim and Matt are joined by a pair of fighters on this Satuday’s card in St. Louis with lightweight Chase Hooper and light heavyweight Carlos Ulberg as guests on UFC Unfiltered.
First, Hooper opens up about the laser focus it’s taken from him to prepare for Viacheslav Borshchev knowing that Chase and his wife are set to become first-time parents in a month’s time.
While waiting for Carlos Ulberg to join the show, Jim and Matt take a look at the main and co-main events of this Saturday’s UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. Nascimento card before offering up predictions of their own.
When Ulberg hops on, Matt gets the New Zealander to explain how a career in combat sports superseded legitimate offers by reality TV executives to star in his country’s version of The Bachelor.
Carlos discusses the stakes of Saturday’s fight against 11th-ranked light heavyweight Alonzo Menifield and how a win on the main card can propel him into the top 15.
Having saved their predictions for after Ulberg’s interview, Jim and Matt ponder the outcome of one last fight to give fans their third fight pick of the show as a way to wrap up the episode.
