Dominick Reyes, Chase Hooper, UFC 314 picks

Today’s UFC Unfiltered episode peels back the layers of UFC 314 with two guests from Saturday’s card in light heavyweight Dominick Reyes and lightweight Chase Hooper.

 

Joining first is Reyes — whose eighth time on the show gets the veteran to reflect on his resurgence after snapping a four-fight skid with back-to-back wins. Dominick discusses the stakes of this Saturday’s matchup against Nikita Krylov before chopping it up with Matt and Jim about how being family-oriented keeps him grounded.

 

Later, rising lightweight Chase Hooper checks in — and the baby-faced 25-year-old explains how his “dad strength” has been the key to unlocking the power fueling his current four-fight winning streak. Coming off a win over Clay Guida, Hooper discusses what he’s expecting from yet another veteran in Jim Miller.

 

Finally, Matt and Jim look at Miami’s stacked lineup of fights before picking winners up and down the UFC 314 card.
