The first day of International Fight Week starts off in a big way with Jim and Matt celebrating the 800th episode of UFC Unfiltered! After unpacking the action from this past Saturday’s card in Saudi Arabia, the guys are surprised by a special montage of guests congratulating Matt and Jim on reaching their milestone episode. Calling in first is Mark Coleman, who reflects on the ups and downs of his UFC Hall of Fame career before opening up about how healthy lifestyle changes have facilitated his sobriety and helped him save his parents from a burning house earlier this year. Finally, Jim surprised Matt with a guest call from Master Renzo Gracie, who calls in from Switzerland to catch up with his former pupil and hear about the progress Jim has made on his own jiu-jitsu journey at one of Renzo’s many academies.
