Summary
It’s a special day, because today marks the 700th episode of UFC Unfiltered!
To start things off, Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by welterweight veteran and friend of the show Kevin Lee ahead of his fight on Saturday’s UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs. Magomedov card.
Fighting for the first time since the birth of his 6-month-old son, Kevin discusses the danger in taking a fight against a relatively unknown UFC newcomer like Rinat Fakhretdinov riding a 19-fight winning streak and how big it would be for him to get a win over the combat sambo specialist.
Then, innovative surfing legend Laird Hamilton joins the show, and the Hawaii native discusses the importance of breathing exercises and how it can benefit combat athletes in recovery.
Finally, the guys wrap up the episode with some predictions for Saturday’s middleweight main event between Sean Strickland and Abus Magomedov and Kevin Lee’s prelim fight against Rinat Fakhretdinov.
