Summary

With the new year around the corner, Matt and Jim are joined by award-winning combat sports journalist Kevin Iole and the great Michael Irvin for the final episode of the year — one that sees the guys hand out their awards for the best UFC moments of 2023! The guys waste no time bringing on Iole to help dive into several different categories for the best of 2023 — including upset of the year, fight of the year, fighter of the year, submission of the year, and others! Shortly after Iole leaves, Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin makes his triumphant return to UFC Unfiltered with emphatic energy. Matt and Jim find themselves captivated by Irvin’s extremely quotable phrases as they catch up with the former Dallas Cowboys legend in an insightful conversation that touches on how MMA has seen a spike in overall athleticism.
