On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by a pair of fighters on this Saturday’s card in women’s flyweight Ariane Lipski and men’s lightweight Austin Hubbard.

Riding a three-fight winning streak going into Saturday’s fight against Karine Silva, Lipski outlines how she’s managed to stay even-keeled through the ups and downs of her career — and one tidbit from her favorite book comes as a hilarious shock to Matt!

In between interviews, Jim reacts to the breaking news of UFC 304’s return to Manchester, England before Matt eventually takes the conversation to his thoughts on Colby Covington’s stance on fighting Ian Machado Garry.

When Austin Hubbard joins the show, he and Matt bond over their respective stints in The Ultimate Fighter house. Hubbard then talks through how he battled adversity to return to the UFC for a second go-around.

Finally, the guys end the show with some predictions from Saturday’s UFC Fight Night: Nicolau vs. Perez card, with Jim looking to make up substantial ground in the head-to-head standings.
