>> Greenville Spartanburg airport.
Getting ready to truck it to Dallas,
and then from Dallas to Vegas.
This is always the fun part.
I think it's a great matchup
between me and Gilbert Burns.
You know, he's known as a jiu-jitsu guy
and I'm known as the karate fighter
but you know wherever the fight goes,
I'm going to be ready for it.
>> Never me. I have to.
I have to.
>> It's okay though.
It's okay, as long as you get the job done.
>> Yes, yes.
>> Win the match or whatever they're called.
>> Thank you. >> You're welcome.
I mean, will I ever be on the same level as him in jiu-jitsu?
No, but every fight starts standing up
and I'm confident in my takedown defense to be able
to keep the fight standing where I want it.
But yeah, man, I think it's a great fight.
Another in the math I'm gonna be facing off against.
>> I appreciate it, thank you.
>> You have a good one.
So the inner math pretty much stays with me 24/7.
All the time.
>> Awesome, thank you.
>> I mean, I don't turn it off.
Even in the cage, I think you've seen in the past.
With Vicente Luque and helping guys up.
Telling Jake Ellenberger I was sorry
for kicking him in the-- between the legs.
>> Welcome to Vegas, local time is 9:36.
>> I don't know, man.
I'm nice to everybody even out in the cage,
even when we're doing battle, so I never cut it off.
Back in Vegas, man.
UFC 264, co-main event, you know the deal.
Last time I was here it was what December I think.
My last fight. Yeah, December.
Feels good to be back in Vegas, man.
I've always loved to fight in Vegas.
And now that it's like open,
it's cool to see the airport packed out.
The venue's gonna be packed out come Saturday night,
which brings me more excitement
so it's good to be back in Vegas.

>> I take the recover very seriously.
And that's why I brought Tom with me,
my physical therapist.
We've been working together I think almost 4 years.
>> I think recovery never ends, to be honest.
As much as I train and I like to train very hard.
If I train like two hours two times a day,
that's four hours total.
I got to recover at least kind of four hours
to make sure my body's good.
Whatever it takes.
Everything I got to do to make sure
my body, my mind is ready for the fight.
I'm gonna do it.
>> He's finishing up. >> Yeah.
>> What's up? >> What's up brother?
>> How you doing? >> Alright, and you?
>> Doing good, doing good. Good to see you.
>> How you been?
>> You're done, man. >> Sweet.
>> Thanks. >> Thank you.
>> Dustin, I'm sure you wanna be on this side?
>> Have a good one, alright? >> You too.
>> It's been a bunch in a row now,
I'm running out of wall room, you know.
The first couple were big, you know so--
I mean, they're all big
but the first couple main events,
I put them on the wall in the house
in my workout room.
And then now it's just like.
Definitely been on a run of main events.
Looks gaudy if I put them all up, the whole thing is--
So, the big ones I have up.
>> Boom, bro.
Arrived.
Pool party?
>> You reckon you get into a pool party?
>> Me? >> Yeah.
>> [bleep] come on, man.
Come on.
You know that.
The flow is good, just, you know how long it is.
[bleep] A long time from Australia.
But other than that, I feel good, man.
Plus, I know the pool parties are back, [bleep].
Know it's for me.
I've got it, boss, thank you.
[laughing]
That's the [bleep].
That's for real.
>> 1-2-3.
>> Thank you so much.
Appreciate it, man. Good luck. I'll be watching you.
>> [bleep].
>> Thank you. >> Good luck, guys.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
>> Yeah, private is the way to go.
Even on the way back, we're not flying private,
I regret that; I wish I would've did that.
Where the regular airport?
Oh [bleep] oh.
We always drive past this.
Damn, okay.
[music on radio]
>> Hello everybody.
Welcome back to the Schmozone.
We are here in Las Vegas.
We have Tim Welch,
the head coach for Sugar Sean O'Malley,
and we have Sugar Sean O'Malley
right here in the flesh.
Fight Week UFC 264.
You guys came right off a private plane.
Right here into the Schmozone studio.
We appreciate that.
>> I'm like it's fight week.
I want to feel cool.
I don't want to deal with any extra stress.
I was hoping it wasn't a scam when we showed up, so.
It wasn't.
>> So, the Sugar Show plans to be more popular
in the sport than Conor McGregor.
>> I think it's a passing of the torch.
A lot of people like, "You try to copy Conor,
and stuff is just so [bleep] stupid.
But I have learned.
I remember after that David Nuzzo knockout.
I remember I messaged him on Twitter that night.
Like, "Like I learned that from you."
I was like 21 years old.
And never messaged me back, but.
Yeah, I've learned a lot him.
The old sign. Oh, [bleep] yeah.
>> Where am I supposed to be signing?
>> You can sign anywhere but nobody's face.
>> I'm not used to this yet, I told you.
>> Who are you fighting on the card?
>> Sean. Sean O'Malley.
>> Oh, okay.
Is this your first fight in the UFC, or--
>> Yeah, bro.
Where I was when I got the call,
I was in my mom's house,
chillin', getting a bunch of dms from random people
telling me I'm gonna get knocked out
and then that's when I found out.
>> What'd you get, like a week?
A little over a week. >> 10 days, yeah.
Hey, man, whatever gets me through the door.
>> Yeah.
>> Win, lose, or draw, we're gonna see what happens,
you know what I mean?
You're gonna see what happens.
I'm saying I'm not guaranteeing a win.
I'm not guaranteeing a loss, man.
I guarantee fight of the night.
That's what I'm going for.
[gaming sounds]
>> Fight week is really, really busy.
You know, we just got done doing literally an hour of interviews.
But now we're just chilling.
And we are playing
this really cool mobile video game right now.
State of Survival.
It is intense, good zombie game.
It's legit.
Oh, here we go, it's time to--
it's time to dominate some zombies, baby.
You can build your own fortress,
but you have to also go out and kill zombies.
But on top of that,
you can build some really cool stuff.
Like we have a medical house.
We have our fortress right here.
Pretty intense and pretty scary at the same time.
Oh, God, no, no, no.
Playing especially during fight week
gets my mind off of the fight game.
So I'm not having to, you know, sit there
and make myself nervous thinking about the fight
you know, 24/7.
Oh, dude, let's keep going.
We're clearing it out.
I carry my phone around wherever I go.
So wherever I'm at, if I have time, I play.
Let's go!
Victory, baby.
[ping pong balls tapping]
>> Mike knows you well.
Oh!
>> A fight isn't a fight, until there's something to overcome.
And when we step in there, and that bell rings,
this is a fight.
It's a scrap.
I want to have to dig down.
I want him to have to dig down.
Everybody has an opinion
and everybody thinks something.
But what's real and what's true
is those 25 minutes when that bell rings.
And that's what I'm looking forward to.
But I just know the longer the fight unfolds
and blossoms if you will,
that I will be the better fighter.
Badabing badaboom.
Done for media for the day.
Not another question
about the con man, about the camp.
Jorge.
>> What's up, man.
Good to see you, bro. How you?
>> You look mean, man, ready to go.
>> Ready to throw some hands.
I did, like, an hour and half earlier.
>> What was this training camp like?
>> If he starts checking leg kicks,
what's your new game plan gonna be.
Like bro, that wasn't even the game plan.
I just kicked and it worked and I kicked it again.
[dramatic theme music]
>> That's great.
>> "We hear Conor's in great shape."
