As fight day inches closer, weight cuts become more serious. Fighters power through their hunger and dehydration in interviews with the media.
Episode Highlights:
- Merab looks visibly drained as he makes the journey from Vegas to Anaheim. He links up with his training partner and former bantamweight champ, Aljamain Sterling.
- Alexander Volkanovski cooks up quite the feast for his team, one that he’s unable to enjoy due to his upcoming battle with the scale.
- Volk walks in on Ilia Topuria taking pictures with his belt. An easygoing guy, “The Great” took the opportunity to crack a joke or two but nothing more. Despite the jawing at the press conference tonight, the two appear to be on friendly enough terms.
- Daniel Cormier sat down with Topuria for an interview. He asked a question that seemed to be bugging him, “You know what I noticed about you? And it’s a bit surprising, like I don’t know what to make of it. Your hair. It’s perfect! How do you do that?”
