>> What is this for?
>> It's a roller.
>> Cormier: For your back?
[Chatter]
>> Oh [bleep]!
[Laughing]
>> That's so nice.
Ah.
[Laughing]
>> Is it good?
>> Yeah, it's really
good like a masseuse.
[Tapping]
>> You're gonna hop on in.
>> Cormier: This is nice.
>> It's gonna go
all the way down.
>> I'm scared.
I'm scared.
What's up, Matty?
How you doing, baby?
>> I'm chilling.
What's up, boys.
>> Cormier: It's
called a cocoon.
It's like a recovery deal.
It vibrates, like massages
my back and legs
while you sweat a
little bit, you know.
When you get into fight week,
Matt, like Monday and Tuesday,
it's almost like a
regular training day.
So, Wednesday morning,
we've committed ourselves
to way more recovery
than I normally do.
I enjoy every single part
of fight week because,
Matt, you know, we only have
a number of them, right?
Eventually there are
no more fight weeks.
And then what, you know?
[Birds chirping]
>> Anik: We welcome former
UFC heavyweight champion
and number-5 ranked contender
Junior dos Santos.
>> Reporter:
Thing about the greatest
heavyweights of all time,
where do you put
your achievements
on that list of greatest
ever heavyweights?
>> Yeah, well, I'm
very proud of my
career.
I'm very, very
proud of everything
what I did on this sport
and, uh, like, they are
saying, this guy--
the winner of Miocic
and Cormier will be
the best UFC heavyweight
ever, you know.
Just for now.
I agree with that,
but just for now.
Maybe-- maybe no.
As soon as I get there,
I'll change that.
>> You'll be in that chair.
>> How're you guys doing?
Good?
>> We now welcome
Jairzinho Rozenstruik.
>> When the other
guys have had so many
of those big fights
in his career,
which ones do you
look at in terms
of just understanding who
you're really ready for
when you go out
there on Saturday?
>> I'm not looking to past.
Junior did a lot of
things for the sport.
I respect him for that.
I respect him as opponent too.
I'm looking forward to what I
wanna do, where I wanna be.
He's the man standing in the
way, he's the man to take out.
>> Thank you so much, Jairzinho.
That's all the time
we have for you, sir.
>> Alright, have a nice day.
>> Miocic: Hey.
>> How are you?
>> You doing good, dude?
You look great, dude.
You look awesome.
Good to see you, brother.
>> Anik: If I would've told you
that you'd be coming up
on your 15th UFC fight
at 27 years old,
you would've told me
there's no way.
How have you kept
up that schedule
and won most of the
time while doing it.
>> I just like to be active.
When I make the run to
become a UFC fighter,
I was literally fighting every
50 days in South America.
I was, like,
this is what I want.
I wanna be here.
I wanna be in the big show,
the spotlight,
so that's why I
like to fight a lot
because that's how you
get things done.
>> Cruz: Hey, Chito, what do you
think about this 25' octagon,
what do you think?
>> I like the-- if you see
the octagon I would fight
before the UFC, those
[bleep] things were, like--
you throw a jab and you
were already swinging
because there was
no place to go, so.
That's South American fighting.
They put us in there
to break our faces
and at the end of the
day it's a fight, so.
Let's go in there
and [bleep] let it go.
>> Cruz: Let's go, man.
>> Anik: Wish you all the best.
>> Cruz: So hype.
Thank you.
>> What you say, Dom?
>> Cruz: You're getting me
hyped up, thank you.
>> Thank you, man.
Thank you.
>> Alright, guys, we
have Sean coming in.
>> Anik: Are you enjoying
the process or are you enjoying
the, sort of, journey leading
to your destination, the belt?
>> You know, I remember
at the beginning of this year,
I wrote on my whiteboard,
I said, you know 3-0, 2020.
So, here it is.
I didn't expect it
to be so fast.
I think this is my, you know,
third fight in what six months.
So, yeah.
We're on pace for four.
But definitely not
looking past Chito
and I know what can
happen in a fight.
>> Cruz: Is there anything
you give credit to him at all?
>> Yeah. He's good
at getting punched.
I think that's
what he does well.
He's good at getting punched
in the head and not going out.
You know, I think Diaz
is kinda similar.
They're good at getting
punched and staying there.
I don't hit dudes on
the top of the head.
I don't hit dudes
on the forehead.
I hit dudes on the chin.
And that's where you
knock someone out, so.
The movement, the speed,
where you're getting punched.
I feel like he's gonna
experience a lot of, uh, doubt
in the first round when
I'm hitting him with shots
that he doesn't understand
where they're coming from.
[Chatter]
>> Cormier: This is what
I've been waiting for.
Yes!
I've gotta get something
to open it with.
You got a knife.
I know you got a knife.
You look like you
have a knife, dog.
[Laughing]
You look like you
carry a knife.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Wait for this one.
Oh, yeah.
Wait for this one.
I've been waiting for this one.
Oh, yeah.
It's not big, but-- oh yeah.
You like that?
Daniel Cormier Wrestling, AKA.
It's not too big.
You don't want it too big.
Oh, yeah.
Ooh, I like that.
I'm just giving you a hug.
>> I just don't trust you.
>> But if I keep my
hands up high.
>> I don't trust you.
>> What if I keep my hands high?
>> I just--
>> I'll keep my hands high.
>> I don't--
>> I'll keep my hands high.
I won't kiss you.
>> Way up, way up.
Can't let him get
the underhooks.
[Laughing]

>> Parillo: Kung Fu.
Probably gonna do some Kung Fu.
That's the most important thing
the folks look for
in this fight.
Now we're gonna do
the same [bleep].
We're gonna get him moving.
Obviously, it's mitt work,
couple hugs.
Call it a day.
>> Vera: It's pretty--
it's pretty [bleep] cool.
The guy called me out.
He want a little bit of me.
That means, you know, he
wanna take my spot now.
I prepare and ready.
I'm ready to go to deep waters
and have [bleep] fun, you know.
Bleed, no bleed.
Tired, no tired.
I'm ready to go, so.
Saturday night, the cage
is gonna be locked
and I'm gonna let
the [bleep] go.
[Grunting]
[Thumping]
>> Vera: When you're in shape,
you're not worried.
Looking back, all
the work was done.
Good food, good recovery,
hard work.
Lasting for days.
When you're ready,
you're [bleep] fine.
>> Is that him?
There he goes.
Look at that.
For the cameras?
It's his opponent.
>> Vera: How many more days?
Two more days?
>> Parillo: Two more days.
>> Thursday, Friday,
Saturday, oooh.
[Bleep], baby.
♪♪
>> Just warm up.
Sweat, burn some calories.
Open up my lungs a little bit.
Nothing too crazy.
You know, I train so hard to go
out there for 15 minutes, so.
It's a love-hate relationship
with the first-round knockouts
because I love watching
my fights back.
You know, my last two fights
were less than five minutes
put together.
I'm not gonna bite down
on my mouthguard
and go headshot for
headshot with him.
I don't get hit.
I don't like to get hit.
It's not the plan.
I'm not gonna get hit.
I mean, you look at
him versus my skill.
I'm just better.
>> Body kicks, 3-2.
Boom boom, double jab.
I saw Chito here tonight with
both his striking coaches
and I think Parillo's putting
a lot of false
confidence in his mind,
and if that's his game
plan Saturday night,
to come strike with Suga,
he's gonna get knocked out
pretty quick.
Jab.
Fastest [bleep] in the world.
Baddest [bleep] in the world.
Un[bleep]breakable.
>> O'Malley: First round
knockout, you can't complain.
If I knock him out in
the second, third.
Doesn't matter.
