Summary

Jim and Matt are joined by a pair of fighters from this Saturday’s UFC 301 card in Brazil that have yet to lose since signing with the UFC in flyweight Steve Erceg and middleweight Caio Borralho. Erceg begins his interview by recounting the funny story of where he was when he found out he’d be getting a title shot against Alexandre Pantoja. Fully aware of the fact that the fans in Rio won’t be on his side, the Australian flyweight explains why he’s embracing the hostility going into the first main event of his career. After making some fight picks between interviews, Caio Borralho returns to the show to share his thoughts on how cool it is to follow up a fight in São Paulo with a fight on Saturday’s UFC 301 card in Rio de Janeiro underneath a legend like José Aldo. Finally, Jim wraps up the show with a bold prediction in hopes of narrowing Matt’s wide lead in their head-to-head fight pick standings.
