UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs. Hernandez picks

Jim Norton and Matt Serra welcome two rising welterweights to UFC Unfiltered ahead of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night in Houston.

The guys kick off their preview of this weekend’s card by breaking down the main event between Sean Strickland and Anthony Hernandez — with Jim offering up a prediction of his own.

First up, Serbian knockout artist Uroš Medić makes his Unfiltered debut. “The Doctor” reflects on his journey from Serbia to Alaska to the UFC before outlining what he expects from 12th-ranked Geoff Neal in their fan-friendly co-main event clash this Saturday.

Then, undefeated prospect Jacobe Smith calls in ahead of his third UFC appearance. After completing a full camp preparing for Seokhyeon Ko, Smith discusses the mindset shift required for a short-notice matchup against fellow unbeaten welterweight Josiah Harrell.

Confident in his coaches’ film study, Smith explains why he prefers trusting his athleticism and in-fight instincts rather than overthinking hypothetical scenarios.

Stick around as Jim and Matt round out the show by locking in their official picks for Saturday’s action.
