Voir The Ultimate Fighter 26: Team Alvarez vs Team Gathje – A New World Champion - Episode 2

With the first preliminary fight in the books, Justin Gaethje and a few assistant coaches stop by the house for a night of fun and games. The girls bond with one another and take the opportunity to relax. Justin attempts to talk strategy with an international fighter but finds it quite hard to communicate with her, even with the help of a translator. Meanwhile, the Team Alvarez girls have their own fun in the backyard. One of the fighters has a very peculiar way of going about her weight cut, which turns out to be highly entertaining to the others. The next day, at practice, the fighters see the tournament bracket for the first time and quickly realize they are likely to face a teammate as early as the quarterfinals. Coach Alvarez is upset and tries to keep the team spirit alive after one of his girls asks him to prep her for a potential fight against a teammate. As the training session gets underway, Alvarez focuses his attention on his next flyweight, who is confident that she can dominate the upcoming fight. Tragedy strikes at the Team Gaethje practice as one of his fighters gets injured while doing drills on the mat. She ends up in the ER and receives an uncertain prognosis. Later that night at the house, the injured fighter receives a visit from former UFC champion Miesha Tate, who encourages her to stay positive. As the fight approaches, Justin prepares his next competitor and seems to be extremely confident in her stand up abilities. The day of the fight comes and the two flyweights put on an entertaining show. The second quarterfinalist claims her spot and the coaches announce the next matchup.
