  • [dog barking]

  • >> Lock 'em up. Lock 'em up.

  • [indistinct]

  • >> That works.

  • >> Make it work.

  • Say hi to my mama before we leave.

  • >> Do you want ketchup in these?

  • >> A little bit.

  • Unless we have some bomb salsa, that'd be nice.

  • >> I think so.

  • Dominick is my third-born son.

  • We never accepted them to be second best

  • at anything since they were little.

  • We're very competitive.

  • My husband and I, as well.

  • So I think it just pushes them.

  • If you're gonna do something, do it 100%.

  • I love you. Be good.

  • >> I love you too. >> Do your thing.

  • >> Oh, yeah.

  • >> Valentina: We lived in Texas for two and a half years

  • before we moved to Las Vegas.

  • And I think being here

  • is to recover all power from the training

  • and get some good and positive energy for the next week.

  • Let's go touch the water.

  • I remember when I fought in Chicago with Holly Holm.

  • And we went to the beach and everyone, Antonina, Pavel,

  • they went to swim to the lake and it was freezing.

  • But, you know, I felt the energy of the lake came to me.

  • So probably today, they had to do the same.

  • Do you wanna swim?

  • >> Uh-uh. >> No.

  • I have to find a volunteer.

  • [wind blowing]

  • It's a snow leopard.

  • It's my animal.

  • And the feet, of course, my feet.

  • >> Saleswoman: Welcome to Wings!

  • >> You have to get anything with Galveston sign, yes.

  • Being in Galveston, every time we are here, I get something.

  • I like because you can get t-shirt or, like,

  • anything and get the sticker what you want, what you like.

  • And this is like all the variation of the stickers.

  • >> Saleswoman: Thank you, y'all. Y'all have a great day.

  • >> Thank you.

  • >> Yeah, good luck in the pipe too.

  • We're at The Den right now in Houston.

  • We're about to watch the Super Bowl.

  • My team's here.

  • We got great hospitality from the staff

  • and I'm excited to watch the game.

  • I got the Niners.

  • He's so composed, man.

  • It's awesome.

  • The beginning of these big games, you see big plays happen,

  • because guys are just kinda playing too hard, in a sense.

  • They're not just being themselves.

  • He's breaking loose already.

  • Look at this guy.

  • You do what got you here, you know.

  • And that directly relates to my fight in a big, big way.

  • Okay, just fight your fight.

  • That's really what it is.

  • You don't have to be something you're not.

  • Just be who you are

  • and I'm seeing it today in the Super Bowl.

  • It's pretty cool to see.

  • Oh, got it!

  • Touchdown!

  • [gulls cawing]

  • >> He's like-- he knows he has to go in the crate,

  • so he tries to sneak in there.

  • That's, like, the only couch he's allowed on.

  • He's like, "No, don't put me in there!"

  • Come on.

  • [dog grunting]

  • >> There.

  • Sorry.

  • Mom's gotta go to work.

  • So, I live in Long Island but I train in the city

  • and I train in Long Island and I train in New Jersey.

  • So, I'm kind of like a gym gypsy training everywhere.

  • But most of the time I train at Renzo's in the city,

  • so it's kinda nice.

  • I just take the train right in.

  • I like when my husband comes

  • because I make him carry my bags.

  • And I can get jiu-jitsu, MMA, striking,

  • pretty much all my training pretty much there.

  • So, get a nice little relaxing quiet time on the train.

  • At least I don't have to physically drive there

  • the whole time.

  • Like, Jersey, I'm driving two hours to go spar,

  • so this isn't too bad.

  • A lot of people, like, complain about the commute,

  • like going so far just to train.

  • I mean, there's definitely, like,

  • a million gyms on Long Island that I can train at too.

  • There's, you know, right down the road from my house,

  • there's a jiu-jitsu gym.

  • But this is harder than training.

  • You know, it's worth it to travel

  • to go to the best places in the world.

  • I mean, I go to Renzo Gracie and I train with John Danaher

  • and you know, I can feel a little lazy

  • and train close to my house.

  • But, it wouldn't be the best training,

  • so it's really worth it to me to travel to get there.

  • [gym chatter]

  • >> Bring the inside. Elbows inside.

  • Bumping, bridging, breathing space.

  • >> Katlyn: Today's my last day before I fly out, so you know,

  • I like to do my last technical jiu-jitsu.

  • I get to train with all the same partners

  • that I've been training with all camp,

  • and kind of, like, it's my last day to test my skills

  • and just flow and feel sharp, see what moves I love.

  • >> Very nice.

  • Leg between the elbow escape and then knee escape.

  • >> Katlyn: You know, I feel really good.

  • I have super high energy now, so I wanna like, "Alright,

  • let's go before I'm stuck in the hotel

  • and working out in that boring quiet workout room."

  • I wanna go here where it's good energy, good vibes.

  • Just wanna keep everything boom, boom, boom fresh.

  • Ready to go.

  • >> Jon: Mentally I feel amazing.

  • I feel great, man.

  • I've done this a lot of times.

  • It's weird, man.

  • It's weird when you fight at such a high level so often.

  • You know, part of you feel like you should be nervous.

  • Part of you are.

  • But a bigger part of you is just like,

  • "This is what I do," you know what I mean?

  • I feel like-- sometimes I feel what a soldier would feel like

  • who deploys a lot.

  • You know, it's like-- with no disrespect,

  • it's like after awhile you just get familiar in that lane.

  • You know, where most people are [bleep] bricks.

  • You kinda just get familiar with it all.

  • So, that's kinda how I feel.

  • Nervous, excited, ready to do exactly what I was born to do.

  • [splashing]

  • >> Ready!

  • Go!

  • >> Jon: I think his mentality is one of his strengths.

  • You know, he's never lost a fight,

  • so he's very confident in himself.

  • I think he honestly believes that he's gonna win the fight.

  • He has great knockout power, but on this level,

  • there's a lot more that goes into it

  • than athleticism and knockout power.

  • You know, I've been in high-pressure situations

  • since I was 23, you know.

  • Fighting the top guys in the world.

  • I try not to look at any fight as bigger than the next.

  • It's just another fight.

  • It's just what we do.

  • You know, that fast lane

  • is what we've been in for a very long time.

  • So, I'm extremely motivated.

  • I've given this fight everything.

  • And last time I wasn't focused, I almost lost a fight.

  • You know, back in 2015 against Alexander Gustafsson.

  • So, I know that I have to focus and give this fighter

  • everything that's in me.

  • At the end of the day, he's never tasted defeat,

  • and that just-- that gets me on a different level.

  • >> Nice, good job.

  • [grunting]

  • >> Hold on.

  • >> How does that feel after swimming?

  • How does that feel after swimming?

  • >> I feel good. >> Yeah?

  • You're in shape then, alright.

  • I think a mental edge with Jon is so much experience.

  • He has fought a lot of hard hitters before, a lot of people

  • that have knocked people out pretty consistently.

  • We just have to make sure we respect his power

  • and we respect his athletic ability.

  • But I think mentally, I think the ability to stay calm

  • in that fire is a big advantage for Jon.

  • I'm not sure exactly how it's gonna play out,

  • but I know Jon's will to win and his determination

  • and his incredibly high fight IQ,

  • I know he'll get his hand raised at the end.
