Shem Rock, Eryk Anders, UFC London picks

Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by two fighters at opposite stages of their careers on this episode of UFC Unfiltered in lightweight Shem Rock and middleweight Eryk Anders.

First, Liverpool’s Shem Rock makes his Unfiltered debut as he eyes his first UFC win in his second fight with the promotion. Rock talks about embracing his Scouser identity as a fighter, what he learned from his debut loss, and how he plans to bounce back on Saturday in front of a London crowd on a card with teammate Luke Riley.

Then, veteran middleweight Eryk Anders joins the show after taking a victory lap into retirement following last Saturday’s win over Brad Tavares. Anders reflects on his 20-fight UFC career, what it meant to go out on top with his son in attendance, and why he chose to hand his gloves to his coach instead of leaving them in the Octagon.

Plus, Jim and Matt preview and make their picks for Saturday’s UFC Fight Night card headlined by Movsar Evloev vs. Lerone Murphy.
