Comfortable with the Uncomfortable (EP6)
Résumé de l'épisode 6
With only three fights remaining in the preliminary round, Team Whittaker's next fighter is back at the gym preparing for her fight. With an already impressive trajectory in the sport, she works hard to make sure she lives up to expectations. At the house, she weighs the pros and cons of staying with her current team vs switching to Team Gastelum. She hangs out with the opposing team and talks about her desire to join them. Kelvin brings in current UFC fighter and former TUF 17 rival Uriah Hall as a guest coach while also preparing his next featherweight for a tough matchup. Even though her opponent is favored, she doesn't seem too concerned about her lack of professional MMA experience and hopes to make a statement on fight day. Through home video footage, we get a glimpse of her quiet life back home and learn more about her family and hobbies. Meanwhile, Whittaker's fighter talks to a teammate about her background and her less-than-ideal current living situation, which we learn more about through her self-shot video. After the weigh-ins, the fighters share a friendly comedic moment at the house as they prepare for their bout. Finally, the third featherweight preliminary fight determines the next semifinalist.
