Donte Johnson on Contract-Securing KO at DWCS, Jon Anik on UFC Paris & Canelo-Crawford

Jim and Matt return from the Labor Day break with recent Dana White’s Contender Series standout Donte Johnson and the great Jon Anik for today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered.

Fresh off a short-notice first-round knockout that secured his UFC contract, Johnson reflects on his rapid rise. Noticeably slimmer than the 297-pound collegiate defensive lineman who first walked into an MMA gym, the undefeated 6-0 prospect explains how the best version of himself may be found at light heavyweight or even middleweight.

Between interviews, Jim and Matt trade picks for this Saturday’s UFC Paris card before welcoming Jon Anik. The voice of the Octagon discusses the middleweight title picture, reflects on his hilarious cameo with Michael Bisping in The Naked Gun (2025), and shares what it means to call TKO’s splashy entry into boxing with the Canelo vs. Crawford megafight — live on Netflix September 13.
