Summary

Today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered takes a unique look at fight week through two different lenses, as Curtis Blaydes prepares for his featured prelim bout at UFC 313 while Caio Borralho steps into a coaching role, cornering his Fighting Nerds teammate Mauricio Ruffy on the main card. Blaydes talks about his upcoming fight against UFC debutant Rizvan Kuniev, admitting he had to Google his opponent when the matchup was announced. He shares his thoughts on Kuniev’s background, what he expects from him, and whether he feels like he’s in a no-win situation fighting a newcomer. While Borralho isn’t fighting this weekend, the Fighting Nerds captain heaps praise on Mauricio Ruffy and explains how he’s locked into his role as a cornerman for his 28-year-old teammate’s upcoming battle against King Green. Plus, Borralho reflects on his own recent success, including his 16-fight win streak, his grappling win over Brendan Allen, and his recent callout of middleweight legend Robert Whittaker. Finally, Jim and Matt wrap up the show with three of their own predictions for this Saturday’s UFC 313 card.
