Voir The Ultimate Fighter 26: Team Alvarez vs Team Gathje – A New World Champion - Episode 6

In order to give his team a competitive advantage, Eddie Alvarez brings in his longtime strength and conditioning coach, Rich Pohler, to put his fighters through an intense training circuit. They all seem to enjoy the session except for Lauren Murphy, who thinks that Eddie may be overtraining the team. Meanwhile, Eddie's next fighter is excited to step back into the octagon after a prolonged absence from the sport. At the Team Gaethje training, Justin seems to be a bit concerned that his next young fighter may rely too heavily on her jiu-jitsu skills. Despite being far less experienced than her upcoming opponent, the fighter believes that she is ready to step up to the challenge. Back at the house, one of the more reserved competitors wakes up feeling very discouraged about the competition. She reveals that she's had an old injury flare up in practice and hopes that it won't affect her going into her first fight. The fighter heads over to the Performance Institute where she receives cupping therapy to ease the pain. She leaves feeling hopeful but still worrying about whether or not she will be able to perform to the best of her abilities. Through home video footage, the upcoming fighters reveal more about their home life, their gyms and how they got started in MMA. The day before the fight, both girls make weight and feel confident going into the bout. The next day, an exciting fight determines the 6th quarterfinalist and the coaches pick the 7th preliminary fight.
