Chase Hooper, Brendan Allen, should Aspinall fight Jones next?

UFC Unfiltered with Jim Norton and Matt Serra

On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by lightweight Chase Hooper and middleweight Brendan Allen ahead of their fights on this Saturday's UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Craig card.

Right out of the gate, Jim and Matt find themselves on opposite ends of a quick debate regarding whether or not UFC matchmakers should rethink the previously-planned Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic heavyweight title fight due to Tom Aspinall's scintillating performance last Saturday.

Then, Chase Hooper hops on the show to discuss how the friendly interactions he’s had with Jordan Leavitt at the UFC Performance Institute are something he’ll have to look past as the two gear up to fight each other in Saturday's featured bout in Las Vegas.

The guys finish up the show by interviewing Brendan Allen ahead of his main event fight atop Saturday's card on ESPN+. The 10th-ranked middleweight breaks down his stylistic matchup with Paul Craig before explaining how fatherhood and seeing a sports psychiatrist have helped him mature as a fighter.
