    I remember listening to the show when it first came out. It has gotten a lot better. Dana keeping Serra around him is a smart move cause they are the best when they’re around each other. Jim and Serra have good chemistry

  • Perfect clip to show the fun & ‘go with the flow’ vibe of the show

    A perfect clip that embodies how fun the show is & how great Jim & Matt are together: 5/20/24…

    **Taking a call from Arturo, the president of WOWfc, a new MMA promotion in Spain—

    Jim: “Hello Arturo, can you hear us??”

    Arturo: “I definitely can. Thank you Jim.”

    Jim: “Ok good. Welcome to the show.”

    Matt: “HOW ARE YOU?” Nice to meet you, Arturo”

    Arturo: “My pleasure, I’m 47…”

    Matt: “NIIICE!”

  • Matt and Jim have great chemistry!!

    New listener here… I never knew how funny Matt Serra was until he went on Rogan’s podcast recently, and ever since then I decided to start listening to his UFC podcast with Jim Norton.

    I’m happy that he went on JRE, because ever since then I’ve been listening to UFC Unfiltered show… and so far so good!

    Jim has done XM radio for a long time, and his experience makes the show much easier to keep up with for audio-only listeners that aren’t seeing what those who watch the video show get to see.
