Summary

Back home after filming with Dana White and Din Thomas in Toronto, Matt Serra returns to UFC Unfiltered for an episode that sees him and Jim Norton dish their UFC 297 takeaways; with middleweight Chris Curtis hopping on at the tail-end of the show! Jim and Matt work from the top of Saturday’s card on down for a full-fledged recap of the card in Toronto — including Neil Magny’s epic comeback, Raquel Pennington’s women’s bantamweight title victory, and Sean Strickland’s close, split-decision loss to Dricus Du Plessis in the main event for the middleweight belt. Fresh off a win over Marc-Andre Barriault on Saturday’s main card, Chris Curtis calls in to discuss what it was like fighting on the same card as his friend and teammate, Sean Strickland. A veteran of the fight game at 36 years old, Curtis sheds light on his recovery process and how soon he feels he can turn around and accept another fight.
