They said that Dana White offered Khabib $100m to fight Floyd Mayweather and he turned it down.

0:00 - 1:28: Gane trains with his coach, who lets us know he hits hard
1:29 - 2:28: Aldo trains, and hops in the sweat box
2:35 - 3:48 Chiesa and plugs a phone/mobile strategy game - Lords Mobile. Yup - the entire segment was about that game, and how it's strategic base helps him prepare during fight week (also takes his mind off stuff, which I get)
3:50 - 4:28 Munhoz gets an orange tea delivery from Gilbert Burns while signing scribbling onto posters
4:30 - 5:12 Luque is interviewed/films his pre-fight shadow boxing/poses (no pregnant women on stools spraying water out of frame thankfully)
5:13 - 6:02 Chiesa is interviewed/films his pre-fight shadow boxing/poses, burning ~200 calories flexing (again, no pregnant women on stools spraying water out of frame thankfully)
6:03 - 6:23 Aldo signs posters with Tecia, and she comments "yours is really small..." He apologizes, and she responds with "I love it!". Maybe precision beats power, and timing beats speed with signing posters
6:24 - 6:48 Chiesa joins in with the poster signing, and stans a bit for Aldo :swoon:
6:50 - 8:06: Gane shows off his signing and dancing skills, then watches a clip of Lewis' famous "My balls was hot" clip. Gane then provides a couple French translations of that phrase. I like the "my nuts is overheated" one
8:08 - end: Lewis is interviewed/films his pre-fight shadow boxing/poses (no pregnant women on stools spraying water out of frame thankfully - I'm now convinced Dana hired her to manual run one of the 19 fountains that flow into one of his 23 pools)

For anyone confused on the pregnant woman thing - there was an old pic of a pregnant woman on a stool (out of frame) using a water bottle to spray mist onto the fighter as they do their shadow boxing clip. Can't find that image anymore. Also google image searching for "UFC Woman spraying" is not advised unless you want to see the Justine Kish match where "an accident" happens.

He's actually really bad at keeping the character up, even in the middle of cutting one of those dumb promos I've seen him just turn to the side and seemingly just ask someone a regular rear end question. Now that he's not actively fighting he's generally fine.

He's always done pretty good interviews when he's being himself and not his crazy alter ego or whatever the heck he does when he goes off. Not that he doesn't remind us enough but he is an Olympian (ugh) and an elite level athlete despite his goofy antics so he often has a lot to say about training and the industry and all that good stuff that us hardcores like.

Cejudo clearly grasped that busting out a character that says invariably stupid poo poo will get you on the screen and that with the proper time to round out his skill set, he can actually back up anything he says.

There's not that much point in keeping that character up now outside of soundbites after big events for a follower bump.



Imagine saying "keep my name out of your mouth" and "you mightn't be so lucky next time" to a dude who choked you the gently caress out and if he came across you in the streets or a dark alley, could strangle you again until you died from asphyxiation without really breaking a sweat.

I find it more gratifying when Conor doesn't get what he wants and throws a continual temper tantrum.

In the moment I remember thinking 28-28 was correct, but now that I'm looking at this, I'm apparently agreeing with John Morgan (mmajunkie) and Tony Weeks, and literally nobody else, so I'm kinda doubting myself. :shrug:

Well speaking of MMA Decisions, he clearly won his previous fight and was screwed pretty badly. I've got no love in my heart for missing weight but I still want him to take the fight tomorrow because he's had a rough run

1:00 - 1:42: Angie makes an appearance! :swoon: (man I'm using that emoji alot with her). Love her RPG to MMA analogy.
1:43 - 2:15: Jessica Penne trains for her fight. She's been in some really tough/damaging fights, so I'm glad she's still able to compete. However, I'll be cheering for Karolina. I didn't realize she's lost her last 3 :(
2:18 - 2:58: Gane answers some questions in a small UFC presser. You get to see Anik, and Olivi in their casuals.
3:00 - 4:30: Lewis answers some questions in a small UFC presser - This might be the best prepared Lewis we've seen. DC gives some great advice at the end.
4:40: Fighters arrive for the official presser
4:44: Dana comments how lean Lewis looks. Lewis has a nice response.
6:18: Highlight of the video. Not gonna spoil it.
7:08: Edit - Nope, this is the highlight of this vid. A French reporter asks Lewis how would he feel about possibly losing to a Frenchman in his home city. Lewis' response gets a laugh from everyone, even Gane.
7:58 - Lewis and Gane face off, and Dana almost shits himself. One of them grabs the interim belt from Dana - *music cresendos* PPV splash page - end clip.


Edit : Thanks again Brut for the Goonweight organization. It makes these events even more exciting.

Wholesome little video with Aldo. He always seems like a really genuine guy. And I always have a soft spot for the Brazilians who don't bother learning English and who stay living and training in Brazil. Jessica Andrade is another one like that.
