00:00Is the mental challenge, is the thought process, the feeling, is it any different than those

00:07other championship matches you've already had? This is the happiest I ever have been in my

00:12training camp because of the weight cut. And I feel ready. I feel ready, man. You guys are not

00:19even expecting to what you're going to see on June 28th. Guys, thank you very much.

00:26Yeah, listen, International Fight Week is not even quite underway yet,

00:29but it feels like it's fight week already because we just had a chance to talk to Ilya Teporia.

00:33You know, not often these days that we see fighters come out a week ahead of time and talk to the media

00:37already, but, you know, everybody wants to talk to Ilya Teporia and his goal of going for two belts.

00:43This fight is huge. You know, you have this crazy situation where Ilya vacates and then Islam vacates.

00:47We're seeing not only big events, but also the build-up to what could be a massive, massive event.

00:52This time, I feel at my 100% in my full power. So I can't wait to shine once again in front of all the people

01:04and to achieve one more dream that I have, which is to become two-way class world champion.

01:10I'm going to get another chance.

01:17My family is the base of everything. I just place my daughter here. My girl, my princess.

01:23But then we're together, as I said, the people say that it's a lot of corrida to go to São Paulo,

01:28you can go there all the time to go there.

01:30But we're just going to go home and go there.

01:33Respirate, relax a little bit.

01:36That's what makes us a champion for him, if this is real.

01:41I think people have a vision like this.

01:44He's a fighter.

01:46I don't know.

01:47Charles in casa is a person very caring.

01:49He's a person very careful.

01:51He's not going to go there and go there and take his head away.

01:54He's got to be happy, he's got to be there now.

01:57And now is the moment where he's going to be there, he's going to be there,

02:01he's going to be more strong than ever and you'll see Charles become champion again.

02:05So he's training, he's getting ready, he's happy, it's our dream.

02:09It's a promise he made for Dom,

02:12he already won the medal by Tyler,

02:14and now he will win by Dominic.

02:16And this promise will be fulfilled.

02:18The moment where I can be with him, with him, with him,

02:21with my mother and my family.

02:22My family is my base.

02:24Everything I have, everything I do is for them.

02:27Sometimes I'm with pain, I'm going to train.

02:31Sometimes I don't want to train, I'm going to train.

02:33Not for me, but for them.

02:35There you go.

02:40You know what's about to happen today, right?

02:42Let's do it.

02:43Is it your favorite day of the week?

02:44Ah, hell no.

02:48We're here training for our fight club.

02:50Today it's all about cardio.

02:52For the fighters, it's where we die.

02:56He's just pushing, not just physically, but mentally.

03:01You know, he pushes you.

03:03He fought, what was it, 316.

03:05Now he's fighting back to back at 317.

03:07So Josh has built different.

03:09Three weeks is enough.

03:11I hate long camp anyway.

03:13You see the way we put in work today.

03:16You don't want to do that for too long.

03:18You know what I mean?

03:19You don't want to be in camp for too long.

03:21We're going to part two now.

03:23I'm always confident when we come to fighting.

03:26Good posture.

03:27Good posture.

03:28Your way.

03:29I'm real prepared for this fight.

03:30Every day they grind, you know, Monday through Saturday.

03:32So it's non-stop.

03:33You know, we do about an hour and 45 minutes non-stop moving

03:35and non-stop action.

03:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.

03:37We got to come for that spot, man.

03:39It's Josh's turn now.

03:46So where you laughing at?

03:48I feel great.

03:52Huh?

03:58Force on three.

03:59One, two, three, four!

04:04What's up, guys?

04:05Let's start.

04:06Line up.

04:07I'm feeling very good about this, you know.

04:09And the gym is very, very early.

04:12I decided to get a small place and leave this for the kids.

04:17We have a lot of kids on the jiu-jitsu program.

04:21And I'm feeling happy, you know.

04:22I come from Brazil with nothing but a dream.

04:25The short answer is I feel great.

04:30Moicano is fighting next week.

04:34He's fighting the new Darius.

04:36He's a great fighter.

04:37He's a great grappler.

04:38Striking.

04:39But I just think Moicano, it's his time.

04:41Everything is God's plan.

04:42And it's Monday Moicano time, and I think he's got it.

04:45He got it.

04:46We have a barber on the side, but he's not client of the barber.

04:49No, guy.

04:50I do my own.

04:51I'm partnering with Marlon Moraes.

04:54He's a good friend of mine since he got here in ATT.

04:58We partnered together, me and Rodrigo.

05:01Nowadays, there is too much people that doesn't want to build something good for the community,

05:08for the country, you know, for the families.

05:11So we want something that we can bring our families, we can bring our friends,

05:17and then we can build up like a community of good people.

05:21So that's how this materialize.

05:24I want to have a better future for my family, and that's why I come here to America,

05:30and that's why I want to build a better America for my son.

05:36So we are at the Icebox Canyon Trail, and yeah, we're having a hike here,

05:47watching the beautiful scenery, and they're looking for wildlife.

05:51It's beautiful here.

05:53Really, really cool.

05:55Very different.

05:56We have a lot of mountains in Norway, but they look very different.

05:59It's a very different climate, and the colors and everything is very different here,

06:03so it's really cool to see something else.

06:05It's beautiful.

06:06We're just watching out for beautiful scenery, and watching for all the lizards or snakes,

06:15and any reptilians, and then I'll go home and see if I can find out which species it is.
