• Jean Silva makes BOLD callout, Amanda Nunes talks comeback plans
    Apr 22 2025

    On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim and Matt are joined by two fighters representing different eras of Brazilian greatness.

    First, surging featherweight Jean Silva drops in for his Unfiltered debut to discuss his standing as a 145-pound title contender after beginning his unblemished 5-0 UFC tenure with each win coming via stoppage.

    Silva reflects on his statement victory over Bryce Mitchell, how Muay Thai turned his life around, and why he channels an alter ego called “Lord Assassin” every time he fights.

    Later, UFC legend Amanda Nunes returns for her 14th appearance on the show. Nearly two years removed from retiring on top with a win over Irene Aldana, the soon-to-be UFC Hall of Famer opens up about life outside the Octagon, balancing family and fitness, and what it would mean to dust off her gloves for a title shot against the winner of UFC 316’s co-main event between Julianna Peña and Kayla Harrison.
