It was like 80 degrees.

You're a liar.

I got it. I'm serious.

>> Cormier: You know, the last
fight was a good fight.
I started well and he made
adjustments and got the victory.
But by no means do
I look at that fight
and think there are
areas that I can't fix.
>> Go!
>> Cormier: And I plan to
use more of my wrestling.
You know, I've worked a lifetime
to acquire these skills
and I kind of went
away from in my fight.
>> Camacho: Good.
Big chest, big chest!
>> Cormier:
Does that mean I'm gonna
eliminate or avoid striking?
No way.
>> Camacho: One!
>> Cormier: That was
a very competitive fight.
So, by no means can I not
stand and fight Stipe Miocic
for 25 minutes.
>> Camacho: Time!
>> Cormier: Smarter way
to get my hand raised
is to use all of my tools.
>> Open and close,
open and close.
>> Cormier: I expect
a very tough fight.
I expect Stipe to
be in great shape.
I expect him to believe that
he's gonna go out and win.
>> Camacho: One!
>> The reality is I'm
gonna smash him.
I'm gonna win this fight.
I'm gonna do my thing like
I've done so many times.
And I'm gonna get
my hand raised.

>> O'Malley: Today's 7 days
out from the fight,
the last real hard push, man.
We're gonna do 3 5s,
simulate the fight.
Just kill.
That's all that's going through
my mind is break this [bleep].
>> Let's do a couple spins.
Bang! That was sick.
We're just fine-tuning
everything.
Trying to mimic the fight pace
as much as possible
and trying to make
sure he's super sharp,
his confidence is up,
and he's completely healthy.
With Suga completely healthy,
he's [bleep] scary.
3 minutes in the round.
Come on.
Sprawl, sprawl.
Stuff his head! Stuff his head.
Circle, circle, circle!
That's beautiful; One more time.
We're in my friend's
extra warehouse.
It just turned out there was
some extra space for a cage.
It's super, super hot and it's
super humid and uncomfortable.
And him pushing the pace
like that in here
is gonna make fighting
in the Apex much easier.
Yeah, baby.
Posture! Break his posture.
Yes, yes, yes!
Break his posture!
>> 3, 2, 1. Round!
>> O'Malley: I feel good.
I'm healthy.
It's 3 camps back to back to
back where I've had no injuries,
so, you know, that's super rare.
We just been training so smart.
So, going into this fight
healthy, confident.
I just feel super
dangerous right now.
>> Yeah.
>> O'Malley: Yeah, I'm just
gonna stream for an hour or so.
Dani's on her way home.
So we went live.
Twitch fam, what's up, baby!
Big Chungus, Isaac, Nate,
Bedside, what's up, baby.
Now I've got the YouTube,
Twitch, podcast, fighting,
posting on Instagram.
We're grinding.
But the biggest thing and I
always remind myself
this is I've gotta train.
I've gotta be consistently
getting better
and consistently winning
for everything else
to keep going up and that's
what I've been really good at.
Every day is how
can I get better?
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
That's gonna be on Embedded too.
We're just getting
started still.
That literally felt
more exhilarating
than knocking out Eddie.
I'm not lying.
>> You're gonna hit it, Chris.
[chatter]
>> Retirement means
getting ready for golfing.
That's what retirement
looks like for me, so.
I gotta start
practicing my game.
Let me tell you something...
I refuse to be horrible
at something,
so we'll start practicing.
Time kinda sneaks up
on you, you know.
It feels like yesterday we were
doing our very first Embedded
with Dan Henderson.
But if I do this in my backyard.
>> Oh, you'll get better, bro.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Cormier: It's
been a long ride.
It's been a fun ride.
I mean, I could never imagine
what this career would be.
Gonna be awhile, huh, Chris?
>> Camacho: I know.
>> Take some work, huh?
But I just hope that I
would become successful.
>> What's that movie
with Will Smith?
>> Oh, you're talking
about Bagger Vance.
I'm no Bagger Vance.
>> Just do it, bro.
>> Cormier: It's been an amazing
ride for me and my family,
and all my coaches,
and everybody involved.
Oh, a new ball?
>> I got you.
Aye.
>> That one was going up.
That one-- and straight.
>> Camacho:
You're getting there.
>> Cormier: It's just all
just built up to this point
where I get to finish
thing fighting
for a heavyweight championship
and winning a heavyweight
championship
and leaving the game on top.
>> Hey, that was your best one!
[laughing]
>> Thiago, here, your turn.
>> Commentator: He gets right
past the jaw of Staropoli.
>> Cormier: I've been
staying away from my family
due to this training camp
and it's been very difficult,
but tonight, you know, we
just all got Covid tests again.
All negative so I feel
comfortable coming
and hanging out at the house.
Hey, hey, Thiago, throw
me that pillow next to you.
To watch the fights
with my kids,
hang out with my wife
for a little bit before
I head back
and get ready for the flight
tomorrow morning.
I miss being home.
I miss my wife.
I miss my children.
I miss normalcy.
Ooh!
Low kick.
But, I had to be uncomfortable
to get to a place
where I can get the job done.
And I feel like we
accomplished that.
I love you.
You're outta here.
Baby, I love you so much.
>> I don't know how
my stepfather got it,
but he got it.
So, I was like, "What am
I gonna do with this thing?
Like, no one uses it."
But Mom came up
with a good idea.
She keeps all
articles of me from,
you know, our area,
of my fights and stuff, so.
Yeah, that's where my
Mom takes the articles
and she saves them.
I put all the articles in here.
There's a lot more, but
these are some of them.
The first fight.
There's a lot going on.
Just got done with
my fight with Ngannou,
was training for that fighter,
came home and started
training camp.
The same time, wife
was pregnant with her.
So, doing all that.
Trying to be a first time
father and parent.
And, uh, you know, it
was crazy, you know.
And didn't go my way,
you know, it is what it is.
But, you know, you
live and you learn.
We fought one year later,
got back what's mine.
That is-- I think
it's my first one.
That's Dallas.
You know, that second fight,
I just, uh, started off slow.
You know, when I
started feeling better
in the second round
and third round.
By the fourth round,
I felt amazing actually.
I finally was moving my feet.
Finally, only took me 18 minutes
to move my feet really.
You know, it started out slow,
but I found my way in.
I got the win,
thank, God, right?
Here's my home gym.
Remember the first time
we sparred down here.
We didn't have any wall mats.
We were doing ground and pound,
and Jeff Hughes is on top of me,
we were working.
My mom walks down
to check it out.
She's like, "Oh,
this is so cool."
I was in the corner right here.
My head was against
the cement, kinda.
I was like, "Hey,
Mom, what's up."
And Jeff was like bam!
And my head hit the cement
and Mom's like, "Ooh!"
Like it was the greatest
thing ever.
I'm like, "It's not funny."
Why does everyone laugh
when I get punished.
It's not cool.
But yeah, man,
it's great, you know.
It doesn't get too hot.
It gets nice and warm
but nothing crazy.
It's awesome.
It's a great trilogy.
I think the way it's panned out,
this trilogy thing, is great.
You know, I'm going to
press him and end it
with me walking out
with the belt
still wrapped around
my waist, you know.
You know, it's great
people love it.
People are hyped about it.
So, can't get any
better than that.
