On today’s UFC Unfiltered, Matt Serra and Jim Norton welcome middleweight veteran Brad Tavares and flyweight contender Charles Johnson.

Two weeks out from UFC Paris, Tavares explains how he’s keeping his 37-year-old body primed to break his tie with Michael Bisping for the most middleweight wins in UFC history.

Fresh off a $50K bonus knockout in Shanghai, Johnson recaps his win over Lone’er Kavanagh, the story behind his “skullet” haircut, and the decision to speak directly to Chinese fans in their own language during his Octagon interview.

Plus, Jim and Matt share their takeaways from UFC Shanghai — including celebrating Aljamain Sterling’s co-main event victory.
