A pair of former opponents at 145 pounds join today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered as newly-established lightweight Kyle Nelson and featherweight contender Steve Garcia call in to chat with Matt Serra and Jim Norton. First, Kyle Nelson returns to the show to discuss his decision to move back up to lightweight after his 2024 loss to Steve Garcia. Fresh off a win over Matt Frevola, Nelson breaks down his upcoming matchup with Terrance McKinney at the UFC Seattle card on March 28 and shares what it’s like preparing for a fighter whose bouts almost always end in the first round. Later, No. 9 ranked featherweight Steve Garcia calls in to react to the announcement of his fight against Diego Lopes on the historic UFC Freedom 250 card set to take place on the White House South Lawn. Garcia discusses how he matches up with Lopes, what he learned from Lopes’ recent title fight against Alexander Volkanovski, and whether a statement win on that stage could catapult him into the title picture at 145 pounds. Plus, Jim and Matt recap the biggest moments from UFC 326 — including Charles Oliveira’s dominant win over Max Holloway in their BMF title rematch.
