With Matt Serra out for the day, Jim Norton is joined by MMA writer John Morgan for an episode of UFC Unfiltered that sees the guys talk to welterweight Alex Morono and bantamweight Dan Argueta ahead of their fights on Saturday's UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Curtis 2.
Looking to maintain his trend of never losing back-to-back fights, Morono opens his interview by reflecting on some stories from his early MMA career — including what it was like to get bit during a fight by his opponent.
Then, Alex discusses his mindset going into his 20th UFC fight and breaks down what he thinks about Saturday’s fight against a fellow veteran like Court McGee before wrapping things up by talking about what it's like to drive back-and-forth across Texas between the gym he owns in Houston and Dallas’ Fortis MMA where he gets coached up by Sayif Saud.
When Alex leaves, Jim and John then take a look at this Saturday's card, with some thoughts on the middleweight rematch between Brendan Allen and Chris Curtis in the main event.
Finally, Dan Argueta joins the show — Jim and John open the interview by getting the 30-year-old bantamweight to open up on what it's felt like having his two most recent fights end in a no contest.
Argueta then shares what Cub Swanson’s guidance has meant for him in his career before wrapping up his interview by unpacking the stakes of Saturday’s matchup against a hungry fighter in Jean Matsumoto making his UFC debut.
