Jim Norton and Matt Serra welcome a pair of first-time guests to the show as they gear up for Saturday’s UFC Fight Night: Bautista vs. Oliveira card at the Meta APEX.
First, middleweight Marc-Andre Barriault joins the show to discuss his MMA journey and the roots of the toughness that has defined his fighting style. The Kill Cliff FC staple also breaks down his upcoming matchup with Michał Oleksiejczuk and what fans can expect when the two heavy hitters share the Octagon.
Later, flyweight contender Amir Albazi makes his UFC Unfiltered debut, eager to put an injury-filled stretch behind him and get back to making noise in the division. Albazi reflects on his journey from Iraq to Syria and Sweden, how those early experiences shaped him, and how martial arts became his outlet — before turning his focus to a high-stakes matchup with Kyoji Horiguchi.
Stick around as Jim and Matt lock in picks for Saturday’s card.
