Covington: Well, we're at the Las Vegas Invitational Wrestling Tournament,
a tournament that I actually wrestled at when I was in Division I,
unlike Marty Usman, 'cause he wasn't in Division I,
he was a D-II scrub.
You know, we're just gonna support my team.
Oregon State's out here.
Should be entertaining, so we'll see how it goes.
[Blows whistle]
My father Brad Covington got me into wrestling at a young age,
and the reason that we got into wrestling
is 'cause I was getting picked on, bullied all the time.
He was like, "You see all the good fighters?
They're all wrestlers. So if you want to be a good fighter,
then you need to start wrestling."
So the rest is history.
That's my former junior college coach Troy Bennett,
the reason I went to Iowa Central,
the reason that I went to American Top Team.
So he reached out to MMA gyms after my college career
and got me started on my MMA career,
so I wouldn't be here without this guy. Thanks, buddy.
Bennett: Ever since high school, he was a winner.
So I knew he was destined for good things in the MMA
just having a solid wrestling background
and just being confident.
I don't think the fight will go the full distance.
No question Colby's gonna take that fight.
Man: Good luck, man. Covington: Thanks a lot.
Good seeing you, Schwab. Take care.
Man, it felt so good just to come back to my roots,
be in that wrestling environment around all my wrestling coaches.
It really touched my heart, and it's just--
it gives me a lot of inspiration
going into this fight this weekend.
Volkanovski: Ahh, just gonna move around.
Got off the plane today.
Light sweat, nothing too hard.
The hard part's already done. But you know what I mean,
yesterday we had our last hard spar,
so today we're just-- it's more of a rest day.
Just 'cause I got off of a plane,
I just want to get more sweat out.
[Alarm sounds]
Camp went really well, honestly.
I mean, in tremendous nick.
Mate, like I mean obviously, you know,
I'm fighting Max Holloway, I've got to be in good nick.
So I definitely pushed that
little bit more, you know what I mean.
I'm ready for the fight. There's no doubt.
I really do believe that.
With the training we do, there's no way
a fight could put me in the deep waters as camp does.
Nothing but respect to Max, a great champion,
but the thing is, I've just got too many tools.
I think I'm too strong.
I've got a nice high fight IQ.
And, you know, so does he, but again,
I just--I think I'm too powerful.
This is a walk in the park.
Cruising through now. Fight Week.
Fight Week's easy.
So I'm ready, man. Look, again, I'm gonna be underdog.
I love it. I can't wait to just--oh, obviously
there's gonna be doubters. Can't wait to prove them wrong.
And then all my supporters, everyone that knows I can do it,
I can't wait to prove them right.
I believe this is my division now,
and I'm taking over for me.
Man: Success. Beautiful.
[Indistinct]
Covington: Our training regimen tonight,
we're just gonna do a little light flow,
move around in the Octagon
with my training partner Tony Murphy,
just to shed a couple of pounds, nothing crazy,
nothing strenuous, get the flow out after a flight,
you know, from Florida to Vegas.
Coach: One. Time.
Covington: Chaos is coming, baby.
King of chaos, baby.
It's gonna be chaos December 14, only on pay-per-view.
Man: Ready? Covington: The ramp up training
is done, you know. The haze in the barn is the expression.
You know, we put 10 weeks in at training camp.
We trained our butts off. I've never felt better.
In the best shape of my life, the strongest I've ever been,
the quickest I've ever been, so the next time we ramp it up
is being December 14 with a step in the UFC Octagon
against Marty Fake Newsman.
Marty, you can still pull out.
It's not too late for you to pull out now.
You're already a coward. The world knows you're a coward.
So show up, get your ass whooped,
embarrassed in front of the whole world.
Back out, be a coward,
but at least still have your pride.
Your choice, buddy.
Man: Yeah, if you press the button.
Volkanovski: I think it was on the side.
Man: Is that a safe or a fridge?
Volkanovski: What the [Bleep] is going on here?
Automatic system. Ha.
Man: Hold it--maybe push it. Push, pull.
Volkanovski: Hey!
Man: Oh, he...
Go on, figure it out.
Volkanovski: I'll break the [Bleep] thing.
Are you serious or what?
Something's locking on.
We're gonna get it. We'll get it. We'll get it.
Taking the piss or what? Where's the freaking...
This ain't my room.
This is your problem, Kai. Where are you, Kai?
Kara-France: What's happening?
Man: He can't open the fridge.
Volkanovski: Your fridge...
I don't know.
Could be child-locked.
I pressed the button.
Imagine he comes, presses the button, it just opens.
Man: It's got your lunch. [Laughter]
It's gonna be a long day.
Holloway: Sunday, active recovery day.
We're going on a hike.
I'm gonna use my poop tracking abilities
or kind of the wind, all that.
I mean, you guys, it's not Max "Blessed" Holloway,
it's Max "The Hiker" Holloway.
Judging by my expertise,
we have about two hours to the...
till the sun disappears.
Right now it's about...
1:20.
Yeah, look.
Look which one we're doing.
Ice Box Canyon. Look at it.
Difficult.
Hiker Holloway here, checking in.
Now, we came across some feces.
Look at this.
By the looks of it,
you don't have to be startled.
It's a domestic.
It's probably a...
It's probably a dog.
And people who's hiking this trail,
I saw the plastic bags up there
to pick up your dog poop, so please next time,
pick up your dog poop 'cause there's hikers like myself
that get super excited when they see this kind of stuff.
Come to find out, it was a domestic animal.
Hiker Holloway out.
You got--you got to hip extension, guys,
when you guys hit this second jump.
Full extension.
[Indistinct]
We're going left.
We like going outdoors, doing the nature stuff
'cause the word "aina" is Hawaiian for land and stuff.
And you just want to be one with your surrounding, you know.
Like, wherever we go, we try to--
we try to make it some type of island, you know.
Man: What did you two say?
Cummings: Oh! Holloway: Ha ha ha!
And you guys can see how close the team is.
And we're just blessed. It's more than a nickname.
Yeah, flat on your ass down.
Man: Slide down here into the water. Perfect.
Nakagawa: Oh, catch me now. Catch me now!
Holloway: Hiker Holloway approves this hike.
Does not approve his two Japanese friends almost dying.
What a way to start Fight Week.
Man: All right, so let's go. We'll get right into it here.
UFC 245, the card is absolutely amazing.
Germaine, she's a beast, she's a great fighter.
Is it hard to take women seriously
when you have just dispatched of the best women
that we've ever seen in the Octagon?
Nunes: I love to be challenged.
I love to know we have good girls in the division.
Make me motivated to be better and better.
And we fight before.
But I still, every fight's a new fight, you know.
I'm not sleep on her.
I feel like she's dangerous.
She's come back after the loss against me.
And she just beat Aspen Ladd, the number one contender,
and she's ready.
I have to step in there ready to go as well.
[Indistinct chatter]
Ansaroff: Where? Oh, my God, how cool.
Nunes: Oh, wow. Wow.
How cute.
There's two over there.
Oh, say hi.
Ansaroff: How cool.
