Summary
Two fighters gearing up battle join Jim Norton and Matt Serra for an episode that looks ahead to this weekend’s action at the Meta APEX.
Matt kicks things off by sharing his perspective on the featherweight main event between Serra-Longo’s own Aljamain Sterling and Youssef Zalal before he and Jim make picks up and down the card.
Then, 3rd-ranked women’s bantamweight Norma Dumont joins with the help of a translator to discuss her Sanda roots, her journey through the sport, and her upcoming co-main event matchup against surging contender Joselyne Edwards.
Later, Ryan Spann makes his UFC Unfiltered debut — and quickly feels like a longtime friend of the show. Spann chops it up with Jim and Matt about his move to heavyweight and how he plans to deploy his well-rounded skill set against an elite grappler like Marcus “Buchecha” Almeida.
