On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim and Matt are joined by lightweight contender Beneil Dariush for a recap of Saturday’s UFC 291 fight card!

Matt and Beneil kick off the show with a quick chat about raising daughters before jumping straight into Beneil’s thoughts on who he’d like to fight next following his loss to Charles Oliveira at UFC 289.

With Islam Makhachev set to rematch Oliveira this October in Abu Dhabi at UFC 294, the guys discuss whether the money involved in a big-money fight against Conor McGregor at 170 pounds would be enough for Justin Gaethje to risk his place in line for the lightweight title.

After Jim dishes his thoughts on the judging in Alex Pereira’s split decision victory over Jan Błachowicz in Saturday’s co-main event, the guys dig through the rest of the UFC 291 card for a recap of an action-packed night of fights.
