First, Gautier joins the show ahead of his matchup with Roman Kopylov and reveals a few unexpected layers outside the cage.

First, 15th-ranked featherweight Jose Miguel Delgado joins the show after finding out he’ll be stepping in for Yair Rodriguez to face Jean Silva in the Noche UFC main event. Having fully embraced his role as the underdog in this short-notice opportunity, the 28-year-old Arizona native out of MMA Lab identifies the ways his team has been able to replicate Silva’s fighting style and in-Octagon antics.
Between interviews, Jim and Matt react to Song Yadong’s massive knockout win over Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC Shanghai — from the perfectly timed right hand that punished Umar’s level change to the controversial reaction from Nurmagomedov’s corner in the immediate aftermath.
Then, 13th-ranked flyweight Tim Elliott stops by ahead of his featured prelim matchup against Edgar Chairez at Noche UFC. Elliott reflects on his wrestling roots behind his trademark “awkward” style, the longevity that still has him ranked in the Top 15 at 39 years old, and how his approach to accepting fights have put him in a position to accumulate UFC flyweight records that place him alongside (and in some categories ahead of) Demetrious Johnson.
After the second interview, Jim and Matt go deeper on their other biggest UFC Shanghai takeaways before wrapping up with a look ahead to tomorrow’s DWCS card.

A day removed from Alex Apodaca’s historic upset of Bella Mir in Tuesday’s DWCS main event, Jim and Matt reflect on what it takes to deliver as a massive underdog — a topic Matt Serra knows better than most.
Jim and Matt are then joined by lightweight MarQuel Mederos, who assesses his own impressive showing against durable veteran Mason Jones. Now living and training in Arizona, Mederos revisits his Texas roots and how getting caught up selling weed in his younger years ultimately led him toward martial arts where he is now eyeing a Top-15 opponent next after a five-fight unbeaten start to his UFC career.
Finally, Jim and Matt wrap up the show with three picks each in a preview of this weekend’s fights in Shanghai.

Jim Norton and Matt Serra recap UFC Sacramento while catching up with two lightweights on opposite ends of their careers: short-notice UFC newcomer Stan Dorsainvil and recently retired legend Edson Barboza, one of the most electric strikers in UFC history.
First, undefeated lightweight Stan Dorsainvil joins the show after rallying to beat Gauge Young in his short-notice UFC debut. Dorsainvil talks about taking the fight on short notice and battling back from a difficult first round before finding common ground with Matt over their shared love of action movies and video games. But a potential dealbreaker surfaces when the guys bring up an old Dorsainvil tweet that puts him on the opposite side of Matt Serra in a hilarious food debate.
After sharing takeaways from UFC Sacramento, the guys welcome Barboza back to UFC Unfiltered following his retirement announcement after his UFC 330 loss to Esteban Ribovics. Barboza reflects on his 16-year UFC career, the highlight-reel finishes that made him one of the sport’s most dangerous strikers, and what he wants fans to remember most now that he has laid his gloves down inside the Octagon.
Finally, Jim and Matt wrap up with a quick look ahead to tomorrow’s DWCS card and the next wave of UFC events on the calendar.
