Andre Petroski, Kyle Nelson, UFC Fight Night: Burns vs. Brady picks

UFC Unfiltered with Jim Norton and Matt Serra

Jim and Matt return after the Labor Day break for a show that invites middleweight Andre Petroski and featherweight Kyle Nelson on for a chat ahead of their respective fights on this Saturday’s card.

Joining first is Petroski, who gets candid about the lessons he learned in his latest victory — a unanimous decision win that put an end to the first two-fight skid of his pro MMA career. Andre breaks down his matchup against Dylan Budka before ultimately explaining why he thinks a win puts him in a great place to finally get the Bo Nickal fight he’s been asking for.

Shortly after, Kyle Nelson calls in from a local store in Vegas to talk about his upcoming fight on Saturday’s main card. Originally set to fight Calvin Kattar before an injury forced him off the card, Nelson explains the shift in his mindset as he now prepares to take on Steve Garcia, who boasts an impressive four-fight knockout streak of his own.

Finally, Jim and Matt wrap up the show with four picks each from this Saturday’s UFC Fight Night card at the APEX headlined by Gilbert Burns and Sean Brady.
