Julianna Peña, Derrick Lewis, and UFC 277 preview

UFC Unfiltered with Jim Norton and Matt Serra

Jim and Matt talk with Julianna Peña and Derrick Lewis, and preview UFC 277, on today's episode of UFC Unfiltered!

First, Julianna Peña joins the show ahead of her bout against Amanda Nunes in the main event of UFC 277 this Saturday at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. She discusses how she balances her responsibilities as a parent and an athlete during fight week, offers her reasoning as to why she remains the betting underdog against Nunes after defeating her the last time they faced off, and reveals what it was like to ride in a karaoke bus with Matt, Michael Bisping, Rashad Evans, and Forrest Griffin.
Then, after Jim and Matt recap the results of last night's season premiere of Dana White's Contender Series, Derrick Lewis calls in ahead of his bout against Sergei Pavlovich on Saturday night. He discusses why he does not like to know much about his opponents before fight night, responds to Curtis Blaydes' criticism of Derrick from his appearance on UFC Unfiltered earlier this week, and opens up about the other business ventures he wants to pursue besides his beauty salon and trucking company.
Finally, Jim and Matt close the show with their predictions for UFC 277, including the interim UFC flyweight title fight between Brandon Moreno and Kai Kara-France, and the Light Heavyweight showdown between Magomed Ankalaev and Anthony Smith.
