Michael Chandler discusses TUF Season 31, Mario Lopez on his combat sports background

On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, hosts Jim Norton and Matt Serra, are joined by two incredible guests in lightweight Michael Chandler and multi-talented actor and host Mario Lopez.

First up is Lopez, who hosts NBC’s Access Hollywood, Access Daily, and nationally syndicated radio show ON with Mario Lopez; in addition to his role as a producer on “The Golden Boy” documentary premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival. The 49-year-old actor steps into the virtual studio to discuss how his unyielding passion for combat sports began as a high school wrestler and blossomed in the boxing gym, where he has sparred with Canelo Alvarez.

Mario then explains how he stumbled into the world of jiu-jitsu, where he now proudly holds a purple belt and occasionally throws down in tournaments alongside his son.

With Season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter just around the corner, lightweight contender and all-around force of nature Michael Chandler joins the show to talk about what lies ahead. As he prepares for an eventual showdown with Conor McGregor, Chandler spills the beans on what he's looking forward to most in the upcoming season.
