Episode Details

Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by women’s bantamweight Alex Apodaca and women’s flyweight Juliana Miller.

Eager to show what a full fight camp looks like, Apodaca looks two weeks ahead to her Dana White’s Contender Series main event matchup against Bella Mir. The 32-year-old Texas native discusses how casual kickboxing classes as a college student turned into Muay Thai dreams and eventually MMA, and what it’s like balancing her fighting career with a full-time consulting job at a Big Four accounting firm.

Then, Juliana Miller joins fresh off a pivotal submission win over Ravena Oliveira. Miller reflects on rising to the occasion with a patient grappling-heavy game plan that led to her rear-naked choke, and what it meant to show off her improved wrestling while representing Spokane after suffering the largest wildfire in the city’s history.

Finally, Jim and Matt recap Saturday’s UFC Fight Night card, including Quillan Salkilld’s first-round submission of Mateusz Gamrot, Diego Ferreira’s Fight of the Night win over Billy Quarantillo, Alexia Thainara’s biggest win yet over Amanda Lemos, and Ty Miller’s continued rise at welterweight.
