Alexandr Romanov, actor Steve Howey, UFC Fight Night: Yan vs. Dvalishvili preview

UFC Unfiltered with Jim Norton and Matt Serra

Jim and Matt begin the show by reciprocating the love Dana White showed for the UFC Unfiltered podcast on his personal Instagram through reposting Matt’s hilarious, highly-specific and accurate prediction of Jon Jones’ first-round submission.

They are then joined by Steve Howey, who not only shares what it was like spending 11 seasons as a cast member of Showtime’s hit show Shameless, but also discusses his Muay Thai training, watching UFC fights back in the day and his role as the lead actor in the new CBS show ‘True Lies’.

Then, 14th-ranked heavyweight Alexandr Romanov joins the guys ahead of his co-main event fight on Saturday’s UFC Fight Night: Yan vs. Dvalishvili card. While assessing his matchup against 8th-ranked heavyweight Alexander Volkov, Romanov explains how his confidence going into the match stems from years of wrestling experience dating back to his time as a 7-year-old learning from his father in his native Moldova.

Jim and Matt wrap up the show by sharing their excitement for the fights on Saturday’s card leading up to the highly-anticipated bantamweight main event between Serra-Longo trained fighter Merab Dvalishvili and former champion Petr Yan.
