>> We about one week today; Exactly one week.
You know, I'm always like to test myself
with the best fighters in the world
and Aldo's gonna be one of them
that will be able to share the octagon, another legend.
I think his style is very aggressive.
It's kinda like the same way that I fight.
Very explosive, strong leg kicks.
>> And it's very exciting
watching the bantamweight division
and see the big fights.
See TJ last week against Cody,
say hey, you know we train hard every day,
you know, our dreams to become a world champion,
for that to happen we definitely need
to put ourself in the hottest, you know,
in the hardest situation itself.
>> It's definitely bantamweight
is one of them right now.
>> This is an amazing opportunity for him
to fight against a legend, Jose Aldo.
And we know both guys, they are very aggressive.
So we can expect like fight off the night
or performance of the night for sure.
They will go after each other.
[grunting]
>> He's focused on his fight.
It's kind of a title shot for him.
He knows Aldo is a big name,
so a victory over Aldo,
a good performance over Aldo,
we know gonna put him on top of the list.
So we expect him ready to go,
and put an amazing performance out there.
[cars idling]
[airport chatter]
>> Oh, man. >> Yeah.
Got it? Thank you.
Just arrived in the hotel.
And we gonna take a rest a little bit.
And we're gonna hit something, maybe, so.
That's good.
>> Let me get it for you. >> Thank you.
>> Yeah. >> Thank you.
>> It was a good trip.
I got a straight flight from Brazil to Houston.
So that's great.
It was during that night,
so I had the good night of sleep.
And yeah, just excited to get here fight week.
Start the process of cutting weight.
And then Saturday night's gonna be fun.
I think that my career has always you know,
been improving.
So every single fight for me
is my most important fight
and this is no different.
I think it's a fight where either me or Chiesa
we're gonna get into that top three,
and really be in conversations for a title fight.
[bell dinging]
So yeah, it's a big one.
He's a great opponent.
He's coming off 4 big wins.
So yeah, I got to go out there and beat him
and go for the title.
>> Today basically we're finishing up Derrick's camp.
He's already finished his, the last of his,
you know, hard drilling or sparring partner drills.
And this is going to be some conditioning he'll do.
We're gonna be pushing 100 degrees here pretty soon
and humid weather.
But with the heat index, it's triple digits.
So it's-- it's very difficult.
Ready, guys, let's get it.
>> We're running sprints today.
It's our last run, so we're just gonna get
a little heart rate up and down,
running up-- running up the hill,
walking down, maybe a medium jog.
A little fast pace up, walk down,
slow down the heart rate,
and then boost it back up again.
Good little run, finish off the camp.
>> Texas heat.
I feel like I'm in shape,
but it's more of a mental thing,
even though fight week is more
of mental side of things right now.
>> Let's go.
>> You know I want to push myself as much as I can
just in case it ended up going to
4th or the 5th round, which I don't see it going.
It's good to go into battle just to know
that we got the extra ammo,
just in case we needed to use it.
About to take these damn shorts off.
What I'm expecting out of this fight right here
is me coming out victorious,
by any reason necessary.
I can't tell you how I'm gonna get the job done
but I guarantee I will get the job done.
You're supposed to slow down, [bleep].
[chatter]
>> Can I have a t-shirt?
>> Double XL?
>> Double XL please.
A little bit odd but that because of my--
I love the heavy t-shirt.
And my t-shirt is too heavy.
So now, the man just behind you give me a t--
Thank you, my brother.
>> Gonna make me look bad.
>> Yeah, like you.
Thank you, my brother.
>> That's better, like that.
My nickname is "Bon Gamin".
In English is good kids.
And when switching to MMA,
we're looking forward for some nickname
because in MMA, the people like that.
And I say I don't know exactly.
I know, I'm a good guy.
Every time I like to love,
I like to dancing every time.
But I like to go to the war.
I say baby face maybe, something like that.
A good kids or something like that.
We're stupid, Bon Gamin.
Okay, it's a French nickname.
But that's perfect.
I have this already on my legs.
I want to do better now, this show here.
Of course, look my man.
This is not only a name of group,
this is a mindset, bon gamin.
Is like stay young forever.
Stay young on your-- on your mind forever.
Stay young and do what you want to do.
Stay humble.
Stay everything good feeling, just good feeling.
This is bon gamin.
>> You know in the cage, he's stronger than me.
No problem.
But in golf, it's not the same story, yes.
>> But not too much, not too much.
My man, not too much. You agree?
>> He better stick-- he better stick fighting.
Right, okay, he can do well against me, right?
But, um, no, not yet.
I mean, we are not going to make money with golf.
Not now.
>> That's better.
I like to improve
and I'm a fast learner, so,
at the end of the session, we will see.
