On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim and Matt welcome in fighters from this Saturday’s main and co-main events as middleweight Cody Brundage and flyweight contender Manel Kape join the show!

Joining first is Brundage, who reflects on what he learned about himself after fighting six times in a 14-month span. The guys get Cody to discusses the stakes of Saturday’s crossroads fight against a former training partner in Julian Marquez before our two bald co-hosts get their middleweight guest to wax poetic about his successful hair transplant.

In between guests, Jim and Matt discuss what Dan Hooker’s injury withdrawal means for UFC 313's PPV co-main event.

When the guys invite Manel Kape on to the show, the ever-confident flyweight known as “Starboy” breaks down his five-round main event vs. Asu Almabayev before explaining how his unique skillset is why he doesn’t get too caught up with watching film on how his opponents look against other fighters.

Finally, Jim looks to extend his surprising lead in the 2025 fight pick standings as he and Matt wrap up the episode with predictions for this Saturday’s card.
