Colby Covington: When I'm not in the Octagon, I'm training,
you know, I'm usually hanging out here at Dan Lambert's house
surrounded by different chicks.
Usman: "With all the different ch--" Ha ha ha!
Oh, my God.
It's like the virgin that's at school fronting to his friends
like, "Yeah, man. I get chicks, bro.
I got lots of chicks, man."
Ha ha!
Ebro Darden: "Ebro in the Morning,"
give it up for Kamaru Usman.
Yes, man.
We don't call him Marty no more, man.
Peter Rosenberg: No. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Darden: Say the name right, man--Kamaru.
Rosenberg: Kamaru Usman.
This is the welterweight championship, huh?
Usman: Yeah. Of course.
Darden: Kamaru Usman,
what's his name again, the other guy?
- Covington. - Covington.
Usman: Yeah. See, we don't even know.
Like, the other guy. Let's just say the other man.
You know, you try to walk around with these 2, 3 chicks,
man, they work at Tootsies down there, man.
Well, stop. Stop acting like, you know, you got chicks,
you got girls.
You don't, you know, but that's--
He's putting that out there because that's what
he feels like people pay attention to.
Rosenberg: Now, do you feel pressure, though?
Usman: Now, I'll be lying if I say I don't feel
a little bit of pressure, but that's the pressure
that I put on myself to be able to perform,
but it's up to me to go in there and control all that,
hone it, use it, and go out there and execute.
Rosenberg: Pleasure, man.
Usman: Thank you. I appreciate it, man.
Darden: Kamaru Usman. Give it up one time.
Rosenberg: Well, you go this way. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Usman: All right. Appreciate you guys, man.
Rosenberg: Good luck, bro. Pleasure.
Usman: He's hiding behind this fake patriotism and say,
"Oh, yeah. I'm making America great again."
Do you know how many Americans and military veterans
message me daily, "We just want you to go out there
and do what you do best, and that's either knock this guy out
or dominate him from start to finish."
Everyone is saying, "Oh, man, he's got cardio for days,"
or, "He's got pressure," but how do you deal
with the pressure when you punch at this guy
and he hits you back harder, you punch again,
he hits you back in the mouth harder?
At some point, you're gonna realize,
"Dang, I can't bully this guy like I bully everybody else.
I can't throw a thousand punches
and set striking-attempts record
like I do with everybody else."
I've got to try a different approach.
This is a guy that I felt that since he was 6 years old
that he started wrestling,
Daddy needed to be there to hold his hand.
He felt privileged. I didn't. I had to work for everything.
For the first two years of my wrestling career in high school,
my parents didn't know what I was doing.
I put myself in this position, and I continue to work
and motivate myself, so when this fight gets under way,
he's gonna realize that he's in there
with a different opponent with a different mentality.
Last flight--last flight till we get to Vegas,
and then it's work time, as I always like to say,
so I'm excited.
I can't wait. Let's go.
Let's go make it happen. Las Vegas, here we come.
Covington: Let's go across the street
and see what's going on in the mall.
Yeah, shopping for probably some workout clothes, you know,
some little tights to sweat in, and, you know,
if I see something I like here, I'll definitely pick it up.
You know, I got to impress the ladies this week, you know?
Man: It's amazing.
Covington: Nah. I haven't tried it. It's a foot massage?
Man: Yeah.
Covington: Ah...
Man: There. Oh, you got the power--
- Oh, yeah. Out? - Yeah.
Covington: OK. Oh, that's nice. Ha ha ha!
Man: You got to tie it, though. Tie it.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- You got to zip it up? - Yeah.
Covington: You know, we're always on our feet
and messing our feet up with kicks,
and it's kind of nice to get your feet
taken care of sometimes.
Man: Oh, yeah. You need to try this.
Covington: Infinity.
OK. Ooh, yeah.
Man: What's up, Colby?
Covington: Ooh. What's up, brother?
How you doing? Yeah. Good to see you.
- How you doing, man? - I feel great, ready to go.
Covington: Hell yeah.
Marty Fakenewsman feels, like, invincible right now.
"All the fans love me." No. They don't love you.
They just hate me so much that they're cheering for you.
They can give a [beep] less about you.
You're irrelevant.
This weekend, Marty Fakenewsman falls off the face of the Earth,
and no one cares about him anymore.
Your career's over soon, buddy.
Volkanovski: Busy.
How are you? This is good.
Man: So we're gonna go through this pretty quickly.
Volkanovski: Green shorts is all right?
Man: Yes, sir. Green shorts here by Kudos.
Volkanovski: Last time I wore green shorts,
I got a massive KO.
Man: We have a special gift here from Bixler,
the official jewelry licensee for the UFC.
They wanted to commemorate your opportunity here--
fighting for the belt, the championship--
Volkanovski: Yeah?
Man: and they created for you this 14-karat gold necklace.
Volkanovski: I'm gonna take a photo of that.
Man: Of course.
Volkanovski: Man. Look at that, 14-karat gold.
Thank you. Man: And all yours.
Volkanovski: What? Awesome. Thank you.
Man: Yes, sir.
Max Holloway: I stopped putting my name and my nickname
because, one, it was long and, two,
people started selling it, so I just started
putting my name, period,
and then when I make it to someone, I add "Blessed"
so you know the difference, my friends.
Man: Hey, Max.
Holloway: How you doing, brother?
Quitting time.
Oh, what's up, Hawaiian?
- I didn't get the memo. - They check in all right?
Soriano: Kind of looked for it. I didn't know where to go.
- Hi. Hi. - Hi.
- Nice meeting you. - You, too.
- How you feeling? - I feel good.
- You look good. - How you feeling?
- Oh, I feel excited. - You know that I'm excited.
Holloway: At least we get a Hawaiian.
Soriano: Yeah.
Holloway: Hawaiian train coming through, baby.
Another Hawaiian on the card.
That's giving me goosebumps.
I love it when I got a Hawaiian on the card with me.
Usman: Colby is in danger because he understands
that I'm a different breed.
I have raw, African power, and tonight he's gonna see that.
I worked tirelessly all through my career to--to--
Ugh! I need a banana, so--ha ha ha!--
I might eat that banana soon.
Ha ha! That's just absurd,
absurd, 300,000 for a [beep].
Volkanovski: Oh, Christmas?
♪ Santa Claus is coming to town ♪
Here we go.
France: No. Looking good, mate?
Volkanovski: Looks good, mate. Looks good.
Man: Look at this guy. Look at this guy.
He's ready...
[Laughter]
got the moves down.
[Laughter]
All right. Let's jump on in, guys,
whoever wants to be in the photo.
It can be you two. It can be--
- Come on, the team. - The full crew. Yeah.
Volkanovski: Team, let's do it.
Man: All right. Here we go. Ready, guys.
Ready? 1, 2, 3.
He's holding that like it's a rap video, man.
France: Yeah. Ha ha!
Man: Perfect. All right, fellas.
Anything else? You guys good?
- No. I'm good. - Solid, brah. Yeah.
- That's it. Done. - That's it, man.
- That's the shot. - Easy.
Volkanovski: That's the shot.
Holloway: Oh, and the thing is Blessed Express.
Woman: Yeah, the front.
I have the ruby when you got it from Edgar
and then the ruby when you're gonna get it on Saturday.
Holloway: Yes. Thank you. It's excellent.
If I miss weight 10%, I get it from you guys?
Woman: Ha ha ha! Not my fault. Not my fault.
Holloway: Thank you, guys. Thank you.
- Hey. - Hey, what's up?
Holloway: Look at this [beep], huh.
Mike Perry: Looking at that all week.
Oh, man, that's a b--
Holloway: I'm gonna hit that family 10% if I miss weight.
Perry: Saturday night, man.
Holloway: I see cupcakes. I see a honey bun.
I didn't eat a honey bun since I was in high school,
and then this is the Mexican-flavor snacks.
Oh, my, God, that pepper thing, that really packs a punch,
so I guess they're really getting me ready,
and then they gave me--
Look at this.
They gave me my ruby because they already know.
They already know, another soul stone, baby.
Charles Stull: All right.
Just to help me familiarize myself
with the weight-cutting practices that you do
over fight week, this should help
with any water retention you might have.
Like, water intake's increased.
We recommend magnesium.
It's two scoops...
a day.
You can just add it to your gallon, nice and easy.
Along with this, you can add one scoop of glutamine.
Here you go. Thank you very much.
Usman: All right. Thank you, guys.
- I'll see you tomorrow. - All right.
- How about the squirrel? - The squirrel.
Nunes: Squirrel? Yeah. I can do squirrel.
Ansaroff: Yeah. I guess I'll wear the cat one and be weird.
Man: You can have it,
and if you guys want candy canes--
Oh, we got these necklaces that light up, too.
- You look so cozy. - She does.
Nunes: Did I-- Didn't even think--
- Some garland on you? - OK.
Nunes: [Indistinct]
Ansaroff: Let's go, Mandy.
Make you come here. Man'? Mandy, come--
Man: OK, and then one more
just you guys standing next to each other.
Ansaroff: OK. Be normal, just normal womens.
Man: Perfect. Yeah. That's awesome, you guys.
Hold it. There you go.
[Laughter]
Get cozy. That's perfect, you guys.
OK. Let's mix it up.
