Résumé de l'épisode 8
With only one preliminary fight left, Coach Alvarez and his team turn their attention to their next fighter. They put her through intense striking sessions at the Performance Institute, preparing her to keep the fight standing and avoiding the takedown at all costs. That night at the house, Lauren Murphy speaks to a teammate and makes the decision to leave Team Alvarez and go train with Team Gaethje. Meanwhile, the blue team's next competitor talks to her housemates about her difficult childhood and, through home video footage, shares the details of her current life. The following morning, Lauren makes an announcement to the rest of her team before heading to the gym to join the blue team. After they welcome her with open arms, they shift their focus to preparing their upcoming fighter, who has to contend with a painful injury going into her fight. After the training session, Lauren seeks out Coach Alvarez to tell him about her decision and sparks fly between them. The time has come for the coaches challenge and both teams meet up with Dana White at a local pool to watch Eddie and Justin go head to head in an intense race. Eddie and Justin give it their all in the hopes of winning $10,000 for themselves and $1,500 for each of their fighters. As fight day approaches, Team Alvarez's fighter opens up about her life back home with her son. The weigh-in ends with an intense stare down between the two flyweights. The next day, the fight determines who moves on to the next round and the quarterfinals are announced.
