Matt Serra makes his triumphant return to the show for an episode of UFC Unfiltered that features two dynamic fighters preparing for this weekend's UFC Tampa card in Joaquin Buckley and Billy Quarantillo.

First, 9th-ranked welterweight Joaquin Buckley stops by to share his excitement about headlining his first UFC main event, a grappler-striker clash against Colby Covington. Buckley dives into his training camp, the adjustments he's made for his first five-round fight, and how his wrestling roots shaped his path in MMA.

Next, hometown hero Billy Quarantillo, fighting in Tampa just minutes from where he lives, previews his co-main event showdown against UFC veteran Cub Swanson. Billy reflects on his game plan, the importance of leaving a legacy, and his dream of delivering a Hall of Fame-worthy performance in front of his local crowd.

Finally able to share his thoughts on UFC 310 after missing Monday's episode, Matt joins Jim in analyzing the fallout from UFC 310 before wrapping up the show with some thoughts on this Saturday's final UFC card of 2024.
