Life Is a Fight

S28, E5: After an intense battle in the Octagon, one of the featherweights is carried through the front door, bruised and battered, by her heavyweight teammate. As she dwells on her defeat, her opponent gets drunk by the pool, relishing in her victory. At the gym, Kelvin brings in his friend John Walker, a former football player-turned-trainer and motivational speaker. Walker puts the team through a series of vigorous drills, and gives them words of encouragement along the way. At the house, the Team Gastelum coaches pay a visit and enjoy some adult beverages with the fighters. The visit makes Leah continue to wonder if switching teams might be in her best interest. Maurice does his best to recruit Leah to make the move, but in the end she decides to wait and see what happens in the next several days. In the morning, Josh opens up letters that his family sent him from home and reads them aloud to Marciea. Then, in the fifth preliminary fight, two heavyweights face off in the Octagon with a spot in the semifinals on the line.
