>> Again.
>> I know a lot of fans and everybody's talking
about how I deserve the title.
How everybody in the top five
has fought Usman except for me,
but you know what I got a tough guy in front of me
and not looking past anybody at all.
So I got one opponent in front of me,
that's Gilbert Burns.
And with a good win over him,
I could possibly be fighting for the title.
So I got to go out there and do
what I know that I can do come Saturday night.
>> One-two-three.
>> Two years ago, I fought Vicente Luque.
He's actually Gilbert Burns best friend.
Gilbert Burns was in the Vicente Luque's corner
during that fight,
ended up with an unanimous decision.
Fighting guys ranked behind me.
Now, the UFC has given me somebody
ranked in front of me, the number two guy.
You know, I was on UFC 205 with Conor McGregor.
We broke all Madison Square Garden records.
And here I am again, you know.
I've fought on some really epic cards
and this is another could potentially be
the best card of the year.
[thumping]
You know, early in my years,
my thoughts were different.
It was just being the champion.
It was just having that title.
And as I got older,
and as I've trained with champions,
as I've trained with Georges St-Pierre,
Chris Weidman, you know,
Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida,
as I've grown in this sport,
it's not about the title.
To me, it's about bettering myself,
being the best martial artist
and improving myself, my being,
mentally, spiritually, physically.
And I think with that mindset, the title will come.
>> One more, one more.
[ring blowing]
Good job, good workout.
And every Saturday, a week before the fight,
we do like a fight simulation.
>> Alright, big dog, let's get to work.
Today we were doing a circuit we call it UFC at IHP.
It's hell on wheels, man, It's three rounds, five minutes,
non stop, last training session of a training camp.
>> Top speed, top speed, go, go, go!
Take him down, Gil.
>> We try to simulate everything in terms of
sequencing, time, a mental attitude,
everything he's gonna find in the ring.
We emphasize psychomotor vigilance,
which is staying alert while you're tired.
>> That next.
Good diagonal!
>> We know that Stephen Thompson is gonna be
on a bicycle.
So what we had to do is create a motorcycle
for Gilbert to get on.
So we focused a lot on lateral movements,
closing the distance, closing the distance in Xs,
trying to stay off the tee line
so he's not a target.
[grunting]
>> It's no secret, Wonderboy brings that karate style.
And, you know and Gilbert brings the jiu-jitsu style.
But the jiu-jitsu style also has hands as well too.
So we want to keep the power that he has,
keep the strength, keep the conditioning.
He's always had a good gas tank,
and it's literally one of the oldest matchups
in the books: karate versus jiu-jitsu
and on July 10th, we're gonna see what comes up on top.
>> Time!
>> They say hard, hard barks.
Now we're gonna put the weight down.
Get the mind ready, the body ready, recover.
Get ready to fight.
>> Perfect 10.
You're ready to go.

I got it on the fight trip in Brazil.
>> You got to pay Mike 20 bucks.
>> It doesn't open, what do you mean?
>> You got to take the weight off your right foot.
But you got to be-- lean forward.
Lean forward.
Almost there.
