About this episode

Jim and Matt discuss upcoming matchups with guests Bia Mesquita and Manel Kape.

Still in the throes of UFC Freedom 250, Jim & Matt are joined by Bia Mesquita and Manel Kape to talk their respective matchups on this Saturday’s Fight Night. Joining the guys for her inaugural appearance, Bia Mesquita talks about her entrance to the UFC, transitioning from BJJ to MMA, and life in Florida compared to Brazil. Then, coming back on the show is Manel Kape who brings his signature confidence. While flyweight gold is the ultimate goal, Kape’s immediate test is a long-awaited rematch with Kyoji Horiguchi. Even though he was bested in their first meeting, Starboy knows he has what it takes to get this one back.
