Summary
Matt brings the heat with a brand new microphone as he teams up with guest co-host John Morgan for a midweek edition of UFC Unfiltered!
Nearly a month removed from his UFC Shanghai win over Brian Ortega, Aljamain Sterling returns to the show to discuss Ortega’s weight-cut struggles, his recent back-and-forth with Lerone Murphy, and what’s next in his pursuit of a featherweight title shot. With training partner Merab Dvalishvili set to face Cory Sandhagen just one day before his wedding, Aljo also opens up about balancing fight prep with personal life.
Later, Australia’s own Aly Mac stops by to share her journey into the world of MMA broadcasting before shedding light on the Aussie fighters she’s most excited to see in action on next weekend’s Perth card.
