Just energy, man.
Dancing, let's go.
>> This is just workout number one of the day.
It's Wednesday morning.
We got a 4 AM wake up call, kind of get the body moving,
because we're going to be fighting at 8:30.
So now we're just going to go through
a little probably hour of pads, mitts,
a little bit of gameplan,
a little bit of grappling stuff.
Now that we're able to be out of quarantine
and have the team together.
We were in quarantine for 48 hours,
kind of, doing some makeshift workouts.
So to actually be able to crack pads with Henri...
It's good.
We've put in eight hard weeks for this training camp,
so to be separated for those couple days
and not be able to train was--
felt a little foreign.
So, glad the band is back together.
Weight is on point.
Fight week is on point.
And ready to go out there and make weight
and then fight on Saturday.

Just kidding, Mike.
[pads thumping]
I feel confident that I understand his game
and what he's going to try and do.
I can adjust with the adjustments
that he's been making in his last couple fights
and I'll take the rest as it comes.
I do. I get out of bed every morning.
Go on Michael Chandler's Instagram,
and I use it to motivate me.
Believe, achieve.
It's a battle.
I make fun, but it's just a bit of banter.
Like people take it the wrong way.
They take it as trash talk.
It's hard to get under the skin of a guy
that is a nice guy.
Like people send me the videos.
He's real into this motivational quotes
and things like that.
So having a bit of fun.
I feel like he's an elite level lightweight.
People say he's an elite level lightweight.
Let's see.
Last year five rounders back to back.
Wars back and forth.
I know I can go there.
I know I can knock people out.
I know I can submit people
and I can beat the best fighters in the world.
Let's see if he can.

How spoiled are we right?

Calderwood vs Calderwood.

Maybe I'll still have some beginner's luck.

More of a fight week out here.
At least in Vegas, for us, being home.
Everything's normal here.
At least we get away and it feels like a fight week.
Ooh!

This is my block.
No, that not my block!
I'm getting the hang of this.
Yeah, can't wait for the card on Saturday.
I feel like because I'm always there, bloodied up,

I think also cause I'm so used to having
a lot of people around me.
Oooh!
Looking forward to it.
Oh, my God!

>> Southpaw towards me.
>> You know, I put in a lot of work

It's not an issue with the weight at all.
It's not even a weight cut.
>> Yep, yep.

And it's been quite seamless.

You know, they're not on my level.
So yeah, I'm feeling it.
We've been in this camp now for a good few months,
and we have to make a gradual descent in weight.
And it's not easy to be consistent.
Stay with a diet and stay and train on top of that,
and do all the social activities on top of that,
and got through Christmas.
So that takes a lot of hard work
and a lot of consistency.
Because it's a lengthy process.
It's a quite detailed process.

Just to make it yourself.
Good, solid lightweight frame there.
>> Great.

Great.
And fairness, there's not a better man to do it than Conor.
And we're reaping the results of that
and reaping the good rewards of that now.
>> I'm in fight mode now, Alex.
That's for sure.
You know, the weight's-- the weight's down.
We're closing in.

It's fight time now and I'm [bleep] ready.
