Jim and Matt speak with UFC light heavyweight contender Jamahal Hill and recap Tuesday’s Dana White’s Contender Series card on today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered.

It took a lot for Loma Lookboonmee to make it to Las Vegas last weekend for her fight against Denise Gomes, and it had nothing to do with the flight from Thailand.

After a tactical opening, a wild takedown attempt by Filho (14-2) was defended well by Echeverria, but a second attempt saw the Brazilian take his opponent’s back and nearly get a rear naked choke.

“I think the loss was a huge part of the move because there were a lot of things I didn’t do in my camp,” Cosce admits. “I did no wrestling, no sparring. There’s a lot of things I didn’t really do. It was just a lot of bad work and a lot of the stuff

It is, and when Ogden says he’s on the mat all day, he’s not exaggerating thanks to three 90-minute classes a day along with his own fight training. “The martial arts marathon is no joke,” he laughs. “It is the real deal. I am on the mat six to eight hours a day, every day.

And Fili’s confidence has not been dulled by his recent cold spell, which consists of a pair of losses against Bryce Mitchell and Joanderson Brito that bookended a stellar effort against Daniel Pineda that wound up as a no contest when Pineda was unable to continue after an accidental eye poke. “I really am something

He had a fight canceled in December against Sergei Pavlovich, and then in April, he was scheduled to face Rodrigo Nascimento, who withdrew from the fight for undisclosed reasons. He was replaced with Alexandr Romanov, but the bout was canceled altogether after Boser pulled out due to an injury. This weekend at UFC Fight Night:

When Njokuani earned a UFC contract with a third-round stoppage win over Mario Sousa on DWCS last season, you knew the seasoned veteran was going to be a quality addition to the middleweight division. After all, this wasn’t some inexperienced youngster getting added into the 185-pound mix — Njokuani arrived with 28 fights and 20 wins

That attitude has led him to a 17-3 record that includes a perfect 4-0 UFC slate. That’s not easy to pull off in the featherweight division, but as he rose up the ranks of the regional scene, he prepared himself for what was to come – not by looking too far ahead, but by taking

And while he’s aware of everything going on around him in the division, Song’s attention has been focused on Sandhagen, whom he has a great deal of respect for as an opponent, and as a fighter. “Of course, I pay attention to what is happening in the division because they are potential opponents for me,”
