UFC Unfiltered with Jim Norton and Matt Serra

Jim Norton and Matt Serra kick off the episode by breaking down UFC 325 from top to bottom, locking in their picks and debating key matchups as the promotion gears up for one of the most anticipated cards of the year.
After the picks, the guys are joined by one of the most dynamic power couples in the fight game — women’s strawweight Tabatha Ricci and Zuffa boxer Callum Walsh. Before diving into their careers, the conversation begins with a look at their unique farming lifestyle and how life outside the spotlight helps keep them grounded amid the chaos of combat sports.
Ricci then talks about her continued evolution inside the Octagon, how she’s approaching this phase of her career, and why staying active and sharpening the details remain the priority as she pushes forward on her quest for a title shot — beginning with a high-stakes bout against Virna Jandiroba in April.
Walsh reacts to his main event win from last Friday’s Zuffa Boxing card and outlines his plan to grow into a true 160-pound middleweight after campaigning at 154 prior to signing with Zuffa Boxing.

Jim Norton and Matt Serra welcome a pair of familiar faces back to the show in women’s strawweight Gillian Robertson and men’s featherweight Jean Silva.

First up, Robertson calls in to discuss her long-awaited return to the Octagon. After a frustrating stretch of delays, postponements, and bad luck with opponents, she previews her rescheduled matchup against Amanda Lemos — now set for March 14 at the Meta APEX — and explains why staying active moving forward is a top priority as she eyes a fifth-straight win.

Then, fresh off his win over Arnold Allen, featherweight contender Jean Silva joins the show alongside his manager to assist with Portuguese-to-English translation duties. Matt sets the tone for the interview in a way that requires no Duolingo, immediately matching Silva’s infectious energy. From there, the conversation turns to a breakdown of Silva’s win over Allen, what the fight revealed about his evolution as a fighter, and where he sees himself fitting into the featherweight picture as Jim throws out potential next opponents.

Jim and Matt wrap up the episode with their biggest takeaways from UFC 324, highlighting standout performances and early storylines from the first-ever UFC event of the Paramount era.
