Charles Johnson, Donte Johnson, UFC 330 takeaways

Jim Norton and Matt Serra recap UFC 330 while catching up with two fighters fresh off statement wins in Philadelphia.

First, Charles Johnson joins the show after submitting late-replacement opponent Eduardo Chapolin with a third-round Scottish Twister. Johnson discusses the chaos of his opponent change, bouncing back from his own rare submission loss against Asu Almabayev, and what he’s looking to do next.

Jim and Matt react to the biggest UFC 330 storylines, including Islam Makhachev’s record-setting welterweight title defense against Ian Machado Garry, Mackenzie Dern’s first strawweight title defense against Gillian Robertson, and Edson Barboza laying down his gloves after a 16-year UFC career.

Then, unbeaten middleweight Donte Johnson returns to UFC Unfiltered after detonating a first-round left hand on Eric McConico. Now 9-0 overall and 3-0 in the UFC, “Lockjaw” reflects on returning to his finishing ways, continuing to grow at Xtreme Couture as an everyday training partner of middleweight champion Sean Strickland, and why he wants his next fight as soon as possible.
