Cat
-wanted quick turn around, wanted full 15 minutes to get back into the groove of things
-wanted to maintain cardio, weight so could focus on this fight more quicker
-getting through the fight week, nerves and excitement had to go through it just to know where
she was needing improvements
-when she was at her best was doing different techniques, now shes gone back to those methods
-working with a MT coach and at a ji jitsu gym, no longer being held down, S&C coach is a crazy scientist
-started doing judo and grappling with new coach, which marion her opponent used in the past.
-has had to reflect on past and future, did she do the best she could in past, interesting in her overall
result knowing she did all she can.
-ranked 6 and marion is 7, marion is coming into this fight with hype and steam so both are going
out there to put on a great show
Marion
-4 fight win streak, changed mentality going forward looks straight at her opponent always
-does not feel 41 at all, but feels young in her early 30s, as long as she feels good she will stay in game
-wanted cat and had to go for it, there was no one available in the top10
-still focused on getting shot at belt, says cat is ranked above her and resilient fighter
-cant put herself above cat so does not enter her thought process
-felt after her last win was gonna get shot but now has to do it with cat
-fans will have fun with her and cat fight, since its an important fight between both
-has nothing on the line here, only thinks about fighting another woman and nothing else in there
Jury
-feels just like another fight, feels best ever, feels was a good camp and the energy has been great
-traveling around Boise and energy is great, did some walking to see buildings and people so happy
-chads a tough fight, expects the best mendes version, took training serious and expecting a good fight
-not bothered with mendes 2 year out
-only a 2 fight win streak currently, if he can take out mendes he will but if he has to go distance it will go that far also.
-Trained with darren cromwell (wrestler) and guys similar to chads build, height and other similar guys
that look as close as mendes is.
Chad
-weight is coming down nicely, hydration process is going well. Best he has felt physically and is no
longer dog tired like before.
-doesn't diet but eats clean since he wants to recover more, 4 weeks out he was cutting weight better
since he was the heaviest he went into camp week.
-the 135 cut is going to be hard but could be done, would need a 4 month strict diet.
-is explosive and fast and wants to stay at 145, wont break it if its not broken
-biggest fight for his life, has to show everything he is still in ufc and relevant.
-say myles is pretty tough and needs to finish this fight
-not sure about ring rust, so controlled his mental pressure more having gone through lots of crap in life
-jury is a counter striker, likes to keep his speed and grapple also and has reach and height advantage but will use his own speed and power to fininsh the fight.
-Will be careful of jurys slick submission game
Brown
-says respects his opponent price, and agrees will be a great fight and potential for best fight
-doesn't need to trash talk here since niko's decent, only turns on the trash talk if opponent does
-says is no bitch will always trash talk back if someone starts it
-wants to perform, goal is to become a contender so will give a hard performance and stand out
has to show his abilities no one has seen it only guys in the gym and not in the ufc yet.
-will flow like water and look pretty
-glad hes got a opponent that comes forward so he can showcase his skills now
-will get the job done, will have lots of jabs, punches and kicks will be lots of action

-will not stand for 3 rounds looking at each other, will stand and bang
-his loss he wont worry about it just wants to throw down first and win for his kids and family
-does expect to get hit but its fine
-fought 6.4 guy before so brown not tallest fighter hes faced
-can enjoy eating and still make weight no issue
-is 4-1 in the ufc, got a sub win last fight
-doesn't want that feeling of a loss, you make money by winning in this sport
and has 4 kids to feed so needs a win its that simple
-don't blink its going to be fireworks
-does not want a judge to make his life decision for him
-knows brown has good striking but can match him at any level
Bermudez
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpe78Xto9gM
-doesn't care about his last wins being so close, its in the past now so it doesn't help him now
made a few adjustments to his fighting style, worked on offence and picking up guys and dropping
them hard. Will still be aggressive.
-doesn't really acknowledge his losses since its well in the past
-fought tall and skinny guys and lefties before, says hes beaten every leftie he has faced in ufc
so looking for a finish and wants it here since its been a long time.
-wants to kill 2 birds with one stone with a finish and win now
-the win is more important then a bonus atm
-wants to show up, knows he always is and its just a plan wants to hit him once and get the ko
but has struggled to find it in past
-primary goal is to make weight and do it consistently as possible and healthy so can re-hydrate
and perform better on the night.

-last fight he was too slow and looking to rebound here and get the job done
-always suck to lose in general
-had a long lay off but was enjoying the training and improvements, so is glad to show them
-feels like a TAM card, trained with chad mendes and energy is very high at camp
-says bermudez is not going to run away from him and come forward so likes this match up
-past 5 fights gone the distance so its odd, maybe due to higher competition.
-worked on coming out aggressive and looking for a finish for this fight
-wants to be viscous doesn't care which round but just wants a finish
