Summary

Jim Norton and Matt Serra link up with a pair of Brazilian winners from this past Saturday’s card on today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered. Jim basks in the glory of his perfect 4-0 start to 2025 before inviting Thiago Moises onto the show. After discussing the ramifications of his win on Saturday over Trey Ogden, the Brazilian lightweight looks back on his fight against Islam Makhachev to make a prediction for this weekend’s rematch between Makhachev and Arman Tsarukyan in the UFC 311 main event. Between interviews, Jim and Matt break down Mackenzie Dern’s dominant performance before finding themselves on opposite ends of a debate surrounding Roman Kopylov’s controversial stoppage win over Chris Curtis. Finally, Cesar Almeida joins for the first time to talk about his explosive first-round KO win, transitioning from a decorated kickboxing career to MMA, and his ambitions for 2025.
