Guest co-host Michael Chiesa fills in for Matt in an episode of Unfiltered that invites the reigning strawweight champion into the show after discussions about UFC Baku and next weekend’s UFC 329 card. First, Jim and Chiesa unpack the biggest storylines from UFC Baku, including Rafael Fiziev's much-needed knockout win in front of his home crowd. The conversation then shifts to UFC 329, where Chiesa shares his expectations for Conor McGregor's long-awaited return against Max Holloway and shares his thoughts on whether Max can hold is own in his very first fight at 170 pounds. Then, Mackenzie Dern joins ahead of her first UFC title defense against fellow jiu-jitsu ace Gillian Robertson at UFC 330. Dern reflects on the turnaround that led to her three-fight winning streak and championship victory, explains why the stylistic challenge against Robertson excites her, and reflects on what it meant to help out the next wave of UFC hopefuls on this season of The Ultimate Fighter.
