Summary

On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Matt Serra and Jim Norton return from a mini-Thanksgiving break with a show that sees UFC middleweight Punahele Soriano and fourth-ranked lightweight Beneil Dariush join as guest callers. First to join the show is Punahele Soriano, who tells the story of how a non-confrontational kid from Hawaii found his way from wrestling into the world of professional MMA through friend and fellow UFC fighter, Dan Ige. Soriano previews his upcoming fight on Saturday's main card against Dustin Stoltzfus before finishing his interview by discussing what he enjoys most about playing pickleball. Jim and Matt are then joined by Beneil Dariush, who headlines Saturday's stacked card in a lightweight fight against 8th-ranked Arman Tsarukyan. Dariush praises Tsarukyan before ultimately breaking down the stylistic matchup between the two and explaining why he has no problem fighting whoever the UFC puts in front of him — even if it's young, up-and-coming fighters that other veterans don’t want to fight.
