One half of UFC 265's main event, and a world-record holding adventurist, join Jim and Matt as today's guests on UFC Unfiltered!

First, adventurer and extreme athlete Ash Dykes joins Jim and Matt to discuss all of his wild treks and journeys, from nearly dying from heat stroke while hiking across Madagascar to being the first person to travel the entire length of the nearly 4,000 mile Yangtze River in Asia. He also talks about his time training and competing in Muay Thai while living in Thailand and explains the difference in mentality between fighting and extreme athletics.

Then, Ciryl Gane joins Jim and Matt ahead of his main event bout against Derrick Lewis at UFC 265 in Houston, Texas this Saturday for the UFC Interim Heavyweight belt. He shares why he's not afraid of Lewis 'playing possum' during the fight, offers his take on the controversy surrounding the interim Heavyweight title, and gushes over his love of video games to Matt's delight.

Finally, Jim and Matt close the show recapping all the action from UFC Fight Night: Hall vs Strickland, including Sean Strickland's dominant win over Uriah Hall in the main event and Cheyanne Buys' performance of the night-winning TKO against Gloria de Paula in the co-main event.
