(gentle music)
- I'm about to start the fight before the fight.
The harder fight is what they call it, right?
The weight cut.
Time to get this weight off, the talking's all done.
I mean, we get to chirp to each other a little bit,
one last face off,
and then you guys get to see the Volcano.
(gloves thudding)
- We're just giving him some light movement,
nothing real hard.
By this point, we shouldn't have to really do anything hard.
Weight cut process is actually pretty smooth.
He knows his body really well,
takes really good care of himself.
He really does most of the work
before we even get to this point.
You know, his wife, Alyssa,
has been a huge asset to the team.
(gloves thudding)
She's a professional athlete herself, and whatnot,
and just, it's not a struggle.
(Jared grunting)
- Just starting to warm up, you know?
Get you to sweat a little bit.
So it's more like a fun way
to get the water moving and everything.
I've been using the Oculus for this camp
to warm up before practices and training.
So it's just a fun, easy, light-hearted way
to get the water off him.
This guy moves water better than any athlete I've ever seen.
Just pools of sweat when he's done training in there.
The way he's shadow boxing,
it like, holds you accountable
to shadow box with intention.
It's just a fun way to change it up,
you know, we're out here busting our ass
during the week, so.
Just kind of something fun and different.
- Come on, give me handshake.
They don't shake hands in here?
(group laughing)
(Jared grunting) (all laughing)
(Jared imitates Street Fighter move)
- If we do a little bit, we'll just do a light drill.
- Yeah, cool.
- What's up?
- How are you, man?
- Good, how you doing?
Everything's good.
(gloves thudding)
- Little more enjoyable to watch staff
and people to keep you occupied.
It's good, man.
Much better than doing it by yourself, that's for sure.
(people chattering)
- Yeah man, everyone's here.
This is usually our time,
but obviously everyone needs to cut weight tonight.
So it's a full house.
There's Sean O'Malley over there.
Obviously all our crew.
Few people in the house.
All good, though.
Everyone's there to do the same thing, yeah?
(ping pong ball clinking)
- Yeah, whenever they can.
If there's a table tennis table available,
they like to do it to finish off the weight cut.
It also helps with Izzy's hand-eye coordination
which is good when you're trying
to stay accurate throwing and landing punches.
Normally he'll wake up almost on late,
and then, pup, pup, pup.
And he said, "Too hard."
- I came back though.
(water splashing)
- Alexander is going first, and then Izzy?
- So I got Alexander and Izzy lining up now.
After that, it's gonna be Cannonier, then Holloway.
