Youssef Zalal, Veronica Hardy, UFC Edmonton recap

On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by featherweight Youssef Zalal and women’s flyweight Veronica Hardy in a show that unpacks the action from this past Saturday’s UFC Edmonton card.

Fresh off his fourth straight submission win, Youssef Zalal uses his interview to discuss what’s changed with him in his second stint in the UFC. Reflecting on what he’s learned from his first go-around with the promotion, Zalal explains how his loss to current champion Ilia Topuria keeps him locked in on his goals for 2025 and beyond.
