One of the upcoming featherweight reveals to another fighter that he believes his coaches see his opponent as the favorite in their fight. He seems to have a bit of a chip on his shoulder and is eager to prove his coaches wrong. Meanwhile, his opponent decides to train late at night at the house, clearly not underestimating the challenge that lies ahead. The day before the fight, at the weigh-ins, one of the fighters presents Cormier with a gift to show his appreciation for all the hard work. Both fighters make weight and spend one final night at the house before their big fight.
