power you know good energy like always treat us like a king M so excited go in the cage show the crazy fights make them happy he had a really long Camp he don’t have to Peak so much he’s at high level already so we’re going to do shorter trainings more explosive we don’t have to worry about uh csas cardio that’s no issue for us let’s go let’s go let’s go this is unusual for fighters to be at such a high level of Dynamics and energy this close to the fight while making weight so this is amazing push push push push this guy is not just training to be a champion last one this guy is training to be the greatest of all time I think you could F five rounds till we die somebody [Music] die I was uh on the drive home and I got the call and didn’t really know what to think because when you get a call like that there’s a lot that that goes that happens within that that hour or that period of time we were able to make it happen brother good what is your plan War I think kamaru is ready all the time because first of all he’s always training he’s always in in shape and you only become as good as him as a champion when you’re very consistent we have really good coaches here and we have a lot of teammates that can help each other out and again for the gym it’s also a big opportunity because it’s cool that a guy that trains with us is going to do something that like again is special and everybody wants to see it so I think it’s a it’s a win-win for everybody I was at home last night manager get called me and asked hey what do you think I knew before he even said it I said let’s go I needed to get in here the next day and just of course call my coaches and said hey we you guys think about this and they said if you run it we want it so here we are finally get to work this is what I do Fighters fight for the most part I’m in here I’m in the gym so hey as soon as they I I I said I knew it before he even mentioned it I said let’s go let’s do it I think it’s going to be a really wild fight I think uh like we all know that shimay have comes to fight but again we are here to do and show everybody that we’re Fighter so we’re going to come and we’re going to come to fight for sure soon as I like we got the phone call I didn’t really hesitate at all really I was just like just laughing at like how crazy this is but but happy at the same time and again if there’s anyone that can do this it’s me and I’m always a consistently training so I can do five rounds any day of the week I’ve been killing myself for too long for me not to be able to do that but let’s not try and test it let’s just finish him nice and early and uh I’m going to be a dangerous man in there uh next week so I can’t wait what’s changed since you last took him on just growth man I’m growing every single time experience confidence things that we worked on and and some of the things that I’ve already doing the taked down defense all of that love just because of that fight has made me so much better so every session after that like you know it’s like I’m impossible to get down and hold down you know what I mean it’s impossible for me to be submitted it’s just again adds to the story so you know I’m up for up for everything the the bigger the fights the bigger opportunities bring them on uh we all know I’m up for it so we’ll just uh go out there um take care of business and man exciting times man it’s a can’t get the smile off my face we at Abu Dhabi UFC Jim Abu Dhabi just just have fun you know relax a little bit with my friend we just sweat a little bit keep the body running you know change the oil stuff like that I really work really hard for this fight 3 months comp and training 3 months diet it’s crazy my body weight’s low you know so he’s is number two bro number two light heavyweight on the war is really good fight high level dakan killer imagine somebody that beat this guy wow it’s going to it’s going to take everything that he conquer right so maybe this guy coming on Saturday night I’m ready let’s rock and roll all right so since it’s last minute all of our last minute stuff packed in here last two bags doesn’t matter I’ve done worse most people forget I flew to Abu Dhabi in what 6 days notice and fought wh hit mosal hey I’ve done crazier things mouthpiece check cup check you know I like to smell good cologne check Gucci slids this is one of those things you know big risk big reward if you dare to be great greatness could happen and so that’s what we’re doing here now we packed we ready to go let’s go let’s go Ed to see of course camping going very well we have Coach khabib with us he push us every day shape is good I’m ready when you’re ready doesn’t matter who is going to be in front of you if you’re Champion you have to fight anyone who put in front of you you have to be ready that’s why you are Champion new round go go go go go Islam campus was amazing to be honest when it was like 100 day before the fight Islam begin train hard since this day today it was last hard sparing day but all hard work it’s finished wosi is different than Charles ala so yeah we’re going to change some things but goal is same same goal same plays but I think Islam have more motivation Islam a Warrior when you go to the cage you always fight he’s going to go deep ocean doesn’t matter how deep he’s ready for deep ocean and it’s going to be instill on the sparring today uh you’re looking really really good uh with Islam he’s on point there is nothing that concerns me going into this fight I feel we’re going to be extremely Victorious uh we have a better version of Islam than we did last fight I’m very happy to be here and to see the progress that’s been going on and that makes me very happy to see Islam on point and healthy uh one other thing I want to point out every time I come here I get overwhelmed by you guys the respect the Loyalty the bond you guys have is unreal every time I come here I’m like wow I you guys treat me like family and respect level was so high uh I’ll hold it there before I crack up a little bit but I appreciate the love and uh hopefully I give it back I have everything here good gym big team my coach and last time in Australia everybody support wowski but everything is changed now oh arena is going to support me it’s crazy a lot of people would probably start stressing and like getting a little nervous and all that and I don’t know I think this is just what I live for you know what I mean me having to wait till January was was killing me I was doing my heading so as soon as I got the news I was like all right it’s meant to be let’s get excited and I am if you just come up and he keeps his knee down you’re going to turn the corner so as he come up watch this if he stands up he stands up with that leg as I always say no matter what situation I am I’m going to try and use whatever I can as a positive okay so what do I have I haven’t done a whole 8 to 12 week Camp I go in fresh I’m going to try and use that I’m going to be sharp I’m going to be clear in there no pressure yeah that’s it that’s it so it’s going to be a different Alexander volcanos in there he’s going to be a dangerous Alexander volcanos I believe I truly do believe that so uh an excited uh vog is a pretty dangerous vog so I can’t wait yeah nice everyone’s always asking you know like why do you make decisions like this I’ve always said obviously for my family and that means I can live comfortably and look after these little ones my little princesses for the rest of my life give him uh a good life so that’s what it’s all about of me so easy decision for me mate easy decision for me So today we’re in the zoo so obiously you get used to the environment the food the bed the water but it just keeps your mind off the you know the fight if you’re if you have nothing to do you’re going to be overthinking possibly stressing even though he doesn’t really get stressed she’s coming back I don’t like okay relax relax relax it’s just normal like know normal daytoday stuff and then you know what’s the point in being a professional fighter as well if you can’t enjoy your surroundings and do cool stuff like this bro if he come to bite me I’m going to put my hand inside take his heart out going to going to eat eat this eat everything and grab some or and pull out this they side mounts will come down then I will give the call to my guys to release the Lions was such a cool experience and to be close to the wild know bring the wild inside me a bit out yeah I feed the Lions my friend I feed my brothers it’s really nice to do something in the nature before the fight I always like to to ground myself this is such a good experience and I really love it this it’s amazing here we go hello Jerry yeah CHS a few carrots there J yes go I’m Alpha Mayo Predator we’re going to see who who’s the alpha Mayo October 21st today’s our last workout before the fight and we’re just working on uh 10 second explosives mainly upper body Aid PS petrics a little bit some ballistic movements step and just some core work just to keep him always conditioned and very fired up for the for the fight as a top level fighter you have to be prepared for those short notice changes and when the when the change came he wasn’t like stressed or nothing he’s like you know what I’m ready to fight whoever it is and U that’s what makes Hamza you know it’s his mentality is his heart his his his mindset that uh you’ll fight anyone anywhere and that’s how he’s born hard work every day one year being Camp you know when I C the fight and big respect to Usman he’s the fighter want I wants to fight long time know since I get to the U see he be champ on for number one so once he go to the cage SM that guy man after this fight they’re going to fight for the titles e [Music] [Music] spe now I receive the call call for this call the people involved my coaches my team nobody talked me out of it so I said let’s go you know this is what we live for this is why Fighters fight I get autograph what up he called me he had this look on his face he didn’t even have to tell me who he’s fighting when he gets in that mindset there’s something different about him like he he he is a he’s a wrecking machine when he’s in that type of mode and it just shows what Fighters do fighters fighters show up I didn’t even have clean clothes I apologize you know my underwear have had off for 4 days I apologize today is going to be crazy much almost like Barcelona versus Real today the play had ab’s team and another khabib is going to take all guys who play very good you know he will win 100% he going good match but he will win I’m referee I player I goalkeeper I fan I am everything hear everything yes Habib usually Stacks it in his favor so let’s see who he picks and I’ll tell you who’s going to win say [Music] [Music] honestly it’s not easy brother in Big Pitch it’s not easy but this is football it’s anything can happen one shoot can change all the [Applause] game [Music] communication ta the main prize was uh $10,000 US dollar for winning [Applause] team I told you I told it’s not possible to beat guys we’re here in Abu Dhabi so I heard about this what four or five days ago so uh pretty exciting sort of stuff you know haven’t done anything like this before I’ve always thought uh something like this uh would happen sooner or later uh probably didn’t expect to do something like this while you champ but um hey I didn’t want to wait till what they said January or something like that but that was too long to wait so this is a good opportunity it’s going to be fun come way to go out there and uh look people’s minds you know so it’s going to be it’s going to be big you know obviously so much happened this week it’s got to be a part of it exciting time body feels good so uh yeah here we are I guess you could say enemy territory right this is pretty much his uh well that’s what he actually calls it like you know this is uh what he calls Home Advantage all good got a nice spot nice spot um well so it’s going to be pretty cool every item was just on board like that so it was uh pretty incredible really just show you what type of a team we have around us that let’s go for warm up they play basketball little bit it’s going to be like 15 20 minutes and then wring wring uh nice nice then wring little bit drills then it’s going to be kickboxing drills and after gon five live got to take Dagan basketball yeah this is not real basketball this basketball this is little bit not same it’s mixed with American football and basketball is [Applause] [Music] not go it’s going fantastic no injuries morale is high the spirits are high uh Islam’s on point the whole team’s on point you know I’m expecting a dominant performance uh from Team Eagle nobody say he lose or something like that but everybody say he is a from aard division aard weight class he’s a small guy that’s it but right now it’s more pressure on me because I defend my Bel this guy just jump before 12 days without any risks this fight I want to finish him I will looking for the finish all this fight everyone just had breakfast JY FTI doing my meal so we’re going to head back so you have a have Jordy in the kitchen for one day he blocks the sink settle down Frankie no I got it that was a you’re supposed to hold it and then pump pump pump pump pump yeah I

soon today is a a grueling workout it’s a it’s a heavy heavy workout you know we didn’t we didn’t have a full training camp for this this is just as hard for our opponent didn’t to see it work out like today I’m I’m happy now he’s in shape I think you officially Took My BT he’s only here cuz he put himself in the situation and I think that’s what makes me the most proud of him and we’re going to see it refreshed and fired up Kam on ready to fight the wolf like I said early I’m going to have to give him my belt because we all know the choice he’s making right now is something that very few people in the entire world would ever even consider you know I’m just excited to be in his Corner we compete he’s coming comp you been a thousand [Applause] times I feel Bliss right now knowing that he’s in shape and now it’s time to just go out there and uh show him what the upper level is about kamaro’s a unique breed brother that’s how you do it walk one of the things that separates him from other athletes that I’ve seen that he’s entering into fight week with celebration this kind of attitude this kind of energy brings completely different results and IT projects on all of us we’re all happy we we all enjoying this and we just cannot wait for Saturday it doesn’t really matter who they put in front of him it’s just another task to complete before the greatness anybody who fights Hamza is going to have a difficulty due to hamza’s Unorthodox style of fighting an orthodox mentality and the character he brings into the fighting and as a coach I have to expect to have the most dangerous beast in front of Hamza and my goal is to give Hamza enough strategy enough tools to go and hunt this scariest beast on the planet and come home with a victory 15 seconds time oo good one he out very good mate very good got the gold on there too yeah yeah see they know try your gloves on we want them nice and tight you know compact nice and compact mate I’m liking these bags eh b that’s my travel bag right there oh yeah hold down thank you all right let’s shift our attention to the co-main event going down Saturday night UFC 294 Kamar Usman the newest edition to the 185lb weight class Kamar let me start with you are you prepared to compete this Saturday absolutely I think it’s the one thing that I’ve always done and and I think it’s the one thing that any great fighter or great Champion does and that’s you’re always prepared at the end of the day just like the same goes Fighters fight as I’m sure he’s excited for the matchup so am I you’ve weaponized Pace are you going to have an advantage in the Disney are you going to have an advantage in the wrestling over a former national champion in Kamar Usman I don’t know what to say just come here smash the guy man so respect for the guy takes the fight short notes everything like so I don’t care about he being the champ P for p and or all the we has to go to the cage and fight you know Fighters fight as Kamar said you guys are going to fight this Saturday at 294 and rightfully so the winner will challenge for the world championship good good luck to both of you to look at him and have him look at me and you

we’re in the khabib’s new gym I think this is uh one of the beautiful gym in my life I told him a old fight big we’re going to training here fight big you don’t have to push her listen your body just sweating and that’s it it’s all about light work that’s the main focus for now it’s pretty amazing to see the progress with uh khabib and all his team it’s a great Testament to hard work loyalty if you have a dream you go for that dream this is woski this is wosi he was imitating volkanovski style you know the way how wowski attacks so he comes with the left and then with the right yeah you can ask all this guy from my team this is a best team in the world all about content 21st century all about content put on that coffee put a cup of coffee man back you should have left it up just do the whole backwards you didn’t even let me get it half on he’s like oh you put it on backwards I’m like ah good lad where’s Ash my coffee man I can be that guy can that can do things like this and I do some history making type of stuff and there’s definitely still a lot to lose for me I guarantee you there there’s not many fighters that that are going to do this you know you heard Islam say you know no excuses and and and things like this it’s just one thing I want to say is like put it this way 100% if the roles were reversed this fight is not happening I don’t care what anyone says he’s not fighting on 12 days notice so he needs to remember that how are you man what up champ how you doing man good man good this guy right here unbelievable that YouTube channel blowing up I see you it’s going I see you we just said that going number one on trending one of my videos no long ago you know right here doing so look America cooking with vul me and you cun food cun done done all right y’all see this me and the champ Cajun food next time he’s in Vegas cooking with v cooking with v done all right 100% me and you after we win we’ll go fly to Austin do tour come to Vegas and we’ll do it do a tour while I got two belts and then you’re going to have to sit there and give me props and then he’s I’m ain’t going to like [Laughter] itz man just take me SN we definitely do something like that all right man see you later see you later what’s up embedded I’m here with the Nigerian Nightmare Kamar Usman what is it about this matchup that is intriguing to you because you called his name with brto Komodo a while back like hey this the guy like this the guy that I want to fight like what is it about Jamay that excites you like that you rarely get the opportunity to be in a in a true fist of cuff fights you rarely get that and I’ve been in I’ve been in a couple you’ve had those you had those with Kobe you’ve had those with Leon and so there’s just something about that Kobe fight that there was something about that moment that was so primal to where you you want to feel it again before you you walk away from this world that’s what I’m hoping I get from this this I don’t like when Champions like you start saying stuff like when you walk away from this for we don’t want to see the end I I know we don’t want to see the end but I want to go out when I want to go out but before I go out still to little bit of chaos do you see this guy to be this threat that everyone says he is or do you think no I’ve actually I’ve been around and I’ve seen this and I’ve seen this come and I’ve seen this go I think he’s as advert TI he’s very tough you know very uh strong he’s big he can strike he can wrestle he can grapple he can do it all so can I I feel like the buzz around you fighting Hamza just feels a little different than you know rematching Leon or rematching k so I’m curious as compared to the buildup to those fights do you feel like more fans are excited for this fight specifically than any of your recent ones you tell me I would say so then why wouldn’t I want to do it are you excited about this way think so thank you guys hey what’s up wait let me I want to feel you like as a middleweight put this coffee down let me feel you from well to weight to middleweight I want to get a taste let me get a taste because at welterweight you seem a little weak when you were 170 out you didn’t feel strong let me see yeah he’s strong okay okay this guy’s a middle weight now oh you big big strong got hey wait remember last time I killed you look look look see look look my underhook look look look I got the underhook you see this you’re moov down I get to the underhook hey you feel strong now like middle weight how much you weigh don’t need to hold the tower anymore thank you man for checking in with me I appreciate it thank you don’t make me take you down though remember you called me out for a wrestling match I’ll probably beat you 10- Z never come on right now no no stop stop stop stop stop stop stop my back my back stop I with back stop oh my God stop you’re going to hurt yourself stop you’re going to hurt yourself you got to fight [Applause] stop let’s take a little bit energy from the Sun absorve that power some sh box on the water keep my body fresh and ready for pick somebody’s head out when you ready ready ready I’m ready ready my appreciate the the love seems like a lot of people are excited to watch the fight 100% more than me I excited I can’t wait to see the replay put this one on my highlights yeah yeah thank you for joining us at the official UFC 294 open workouts first up the UFC featherweight Champions Alexander welcome [Applause] year we need to put on the show for the fans that’s right next [Music] [Applause] [Music] upar just want to tell thank you for the love and the support [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] fight the same for me matter I fight from big and small please with the current UFC lightweight champion of the world Islam [Applause] mahash so best performance for you guys thank you [Music] everybody thank you thank you my commute this week’s been good this is refreshing each and every time to be able to take this ride you know my team is doing a good job of putting us in the right place at the right time so it’s been great it’s a beautiful scene too even at night beautiful itself it’s not bad at all putting it in perspective I don’t really think about it now but putting it in the perspective tell my grandkids about this change a little bit to my ground game because last time I did couple mistakes easy works you know nothing’s hard being able to train with these guys literally the best in the world I walk in and I’m training with the Olympic silver medalist I never get those opportunities like that so it’s a Brotherhood bu we built so seeing a lot of these guys that I haven’t seen in a year it does nothing but Elevate me and make me that much better I’m in a room full of killers every time you come in here you don’t know who’s in there who’s a silver medalist who’s a gold medalist wrestler or sampo Champion they have so many of these guys they do this on a daily basis so that’s why they’re so tough to deal with you know their mentality and their sparring partners are unbelievable mentality good inshallah this week and still what’s up Abu Dhabi how are you guys good to be back here who’s got the first question this is a question for Islam mahaj first of all how good does it feel to be back in AB dabby and repaying the favor of fighting in enemy territory against Alex feel great look at the people they’re all on my side now everything he Chang everything he changed is he needs all the advantages he can get that’s all he thinks about I don’t need none of that I rely on my skills not crowds not nothing everybody know what you need just money that’s it ham that you were meant to fight Paulo Costa but do you believe Kamar is a harder fight for you I don’t care man hard easy doesn’t matter smash that guy take my money be happy simple question for Islam when you do rewatch the first fight were there moments in there that you felt you could have taken advantage of and maybe you could have finished him in the first fight uh you know soon or later each fight has to have to be happen because I won there match and Alex won very much but last time I beat him four rounds just last round he won want I just give him chance to last minute but this fight everything is going to change I want to finish him and finish all this talk about this fight hamz said you know Mountain wrestling is superior to us wrestling so I’m curious what type of fight are you expecting from hamzad if it does come to the wrestling I mean we’re not wrestling you know we’re we’re fighting I’ve already said it before I might not be the best Striker I might not be the best Grappler but when it comes to mixing it up I’m the best in the world if you’re the best why you lost then last two fights you lost you’re right you know but uh that’s part of being human and uh that’s a lesson I guess I have to teach you one last one for you Dana given what we’re seeing up on stage right now are you s sensing more excitement for this rematch against Alex and this fight against kamaru and Hamza yeah obviously I mean the buzz since we announced these fights is off the charts the two guys involved in the co-main the two guys involved in the main is the the reason that everybody in this building and everybody watching loves this sport you know what I mean these guys Step Up on short notice what more could you ask for anybody else have a question I got a I got a question hasbullah who you backing this weekend we back in this weekend all right hey thanks for coming out today Abu
