00:00Here we are at Skywalk. We're at the Grand Canyon West. You can see Jamal Fogarty out there on the walk.

00:09He's at the see-through bridge, staring down into the abyss of the Grand Canyon.

00:161,300 metres apparently, down to the bottom.

00:19Not bad. Yeah, it's very cool to be able to take off in the city and see Vegas from a bird's-eye view, I guess,

00:32and then to make the way out here to the awesome Grand Canyon, how scenery it is, and to go past all the waterways,

00:38and to get out here is an awesome experience, but the glass is a bit daunting, to be honest.

00:43I'm not a fan of heights, but yeah, wonderful day. I'm very grateful to be here, to be honest.

00:48Nice, and how hard is it to sort of slip back into football mode?

00:52Nah, today's my day off, so just like every other week, we have a day off at home where I like to get out of the house for a little bit,

00:58cruise around, so it kind of worked out well that today's my day off. I can just be myself and enjoy what we have,

01:04and then obviously tomorrow and Friday is our training day leading into Sunday, so yeah, just cruising and taking it in.

01:10Yeah, nice, and what's the highlight of the trip?

01:14For me, probably this so far. We went to the Sphere the other night, really enjoyed that.

01:18Awesome show, so if you haven't done that, get out there, and yeah, it's been a pretty film.

01:23Lucky enough to train at the UFC facility there, so the boys have popped into a couple of fighters.

01:27I don't know any of them, I don't watch it, but it's cool just to be in the environment,

01:31so a couple of good highlights, and hopefully on Saturday will be another one.
