Fight-week chats w/ Chidi Njokuani & Marvin Vettori

UFC Unfiltered with Jim Norton and Matt Serra

Jim returns alongside Matt for an episode of UFC Unfiltered that welcomes two fighters from Saturday’s main and co-main events in welterweight striker Chidi Njokuani and middleweight contender Marvin Vettori.

Stopping by first is Njokuani, who discusses his career resurgence at 170 pounds and the sacrifices he’s made to make the weight cut with the help of the UFC P.I. Chidi also shares how his brother and former UFC fighter Anthony Njokuani has shaped his fighting style.

Then, top-10 middleweight contender Marvin Vettori breaks down the hilarious backstory that resulted in him signing up for a rematch against Roman Dolidze. The Italian veteran discusses his return from a string of injuries and how a second win over Dolidze can put him right into the mix in a stacked division.

Finally, Jim and Matt wrap up the show with three picks from this Saturday’s card — with Matt finding himself just 5.5 points away from Jim’s lead in their head-to-head standings.
