Summary

On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, lightweight Matt Frevola and welterweight Bryan Battle join Jim Norton and Matt Serra from Paris ahead of their upcoming bouts on Saturday’s card. Calling into the show on his third wedding anniversary, Frevola gets candid about how special it is to not only fight in France, but to also be joined by his wife and their three-month old son. Frevola reflects on the support of his close friend and Serra-Longo teammate Merab Dvalishvili before breaking down his mindset going into a fight in enemy territory vs. France's own Fares Ziam. Between guests, the guys talk about Dana White’s foray into boxing, reacting to the excitement expressed by both Teddy Atlas and Mike Tyson regarding the UFC CEO and president’s recent announcement. Shortly after, Bryan Battle joins the show — and the seven-fight UFC veteran reflects on the six APEX events he’s fought along with the one time he fought in his hometown of Charlotte as a way of contrasting how different Saturday’s unique experience will be to fight Kevin Jousset in front of a hostile Paris crowd on Saturday.
