Unfiltered Episode 529: Raquel Pennington & Ariane Lipski

Jim and Matt are joined by two fighters on this Saturday’s card to help preview UFC Fight Night: Smith vs Spann. First, Jim and Matt discuss the recent passing of comedy legend Norm MacDonald. Then, Ariane Lipski joins the show ahead of her fight against Mandy Bohm on Saturday. She talks to Jim and Matt about how she manages her relationship with her husband (who happens to be her coach), why she decided to switch fight camps to ATT in Florida, and how she earned the nickname “The Queen of Violence.“ After Matt tries to offer some movie suggestions to Jim, Raquel Pennington calls in. She offers a candid retelling of her experience with USADA during her recent suspension after taking banned substances to treat a thyroid condition, describes the dynamic at home between her and girlfriend Tecia Torres, and breaks down why she’s excited to face off against Pannie Kianzad in the UFC Apex’s smaller Octagon.
