00:00For fighters, training camp is all about putting in the work.
00:20But when it comes to Nate Diaz and Jorge Macedo, nothing is predictable.
00:28We have this, bitch.
00:36Nate Diaz!
00:45Nate Diaz, meet me on this, bitch. The best media gang around, Westside. Blam!
00:51And as their rivalry escalates, there's no telling how it will end.
01:03A week before he meets face-to-face with Nate Diaz for the final time before fight week, Jorge Macedo is in Miami,
01:11getting close to finishing another project that has been a long time coming.
01:17Ouch, man.
01:20Yo, yo.
01:23Here it is.
01:25Ooh!
01:27Ooh, sorry.
01:33We first met through another friend.
01:36We spoke about the car for a little while and the plans for it.
01:40And then all of a sudden it arrived on a tow truck.
01:43You got your air ride remote right there.
01:45Let me get one more time.
01:47There we go.
01:49That's it.
01:51That's a car that he liked for a very long time.
01:54Love this bad boy.
01:56We've seen it in movies and stuff like that, so that's how it kind of all started.
02:00The engine is brand fucking new. The AC blows like a prostitute, so this shit's going, man.
02:06We're going places with this bad boy.
02:08Where we going, huh?
02:10Where we going, Crent?
02:11Where we going, Crent?
02:13We out?
02:15Ooh, so the magic is at.
02:18There it is.
02:20So that's an LS2.
02:22All new lines, brakes, suspension, all black pulley kit, match with the car.
02:27Nothing too fancy.
02:29So, ready to go.
02:30Ready to go.
02:36We put a lot of time and blood, sweat, and love into the car because we knew what it meant to him.
02:44I know that's what he puts into his fights.
02:46He's very dedicated to it.
02:48And he's going to take it. He's going to win.
02:52About to take over once again.
02:55Whoop that so-called gangster on the two. I don't know what the fuck.
02:58We about to get murdered, bro.
03:00Daytona, baby.
03:07From whips to even bigger rides, decades of fighting have earned the reigning king of Miami a lifestyle he never imagined.
03:16We are in Daytona. We're in my city, Miami. Paradise, man.
03:23Headed to Bayside to get this shit fucking cracking.
03:28It was a lot of respect going into the fight, you know, because the shit that Nate had done,
03:33I fucking always respected him in sport, how he fought, how he carried himself.
03:37But then after I whooped his ass, he said I was a coward.
03:42He said I was a quitter.
03:44I didn't get it, you know, because they awarded me the belt.
03:46He said I was a coward.
03:48He said I was a quitter.
03:50I didn't get it, you know, because they awarded me the belt.
03:53Take that shit up with the commission if you don't like it, you know.
03:56I'm getting Nate's face. He's going to feel this South Florida heat.
03:59He called it perfectly a while ago.
04:01He said I was a gangster, but I ain't no West Coast gangster.
04:03A hundred million percent right, I ain't no West Coast gangster.
04:07I got a lot of love out there for them and they got a lot of love for me.
04:10I'm a South Florida goon.
04:17From Dade County to San Joaquin County,
04:20where Nate Diaz is also on the move in a rarefied way.
04:35The man they created the UFC's first ever BMF belt for
04:40is leaving the 209 for a few days
04:42as Team Diaz heads to the land of the OGs
04:46and L.A. comes calling.
04:52And Stockton may have a lot of things,
04:55but it doesn't have a beach quite like this.
05:06Camp's going good.
05:08We're doing a lot of sparring, a lot of stuff at home
05:11for about a good month and a half, two months.
05:13Just kind of getting stagnant at home,
05:15kind of sparring everybody around.
05:17Been in the gym too much, so we came out here.
05:20Ernie helps me keep my feet under me
05:23and makes my legs work better.
05:28At some point in every fight, there's a moment of truth.
05:32It's in this deep water where each combatant proves who they really are.
05:37For Nate Diaz, his elite stamina and vicious closing instincts
05:41have proved dangerous to every foe.
05:44Yet, when it came to the BMF title, he never got the chance.
05:48The championship rounds stolen from him.
05:51And now, he wants them back.
05:54It's like, if we're going to fight, we're going to fight.
05:56We're going to look at each other.
05:58Don't fucking look at me. Don't talk to me.
06:00Don't none of that. Let's just fight.
06:02I'm done with all the bullshit. I'm ready to fight.
06:12While Diaz has revenge on the mind,
06:15Masvidal starts his day the Miami way.
06:19They revived dead people with the coffee over here.
06:23Basically, the Cubans found a way to hack crack cocaine,
06:27turn it to liquid form. Boom.
06:32This is an original croqueta.
06:35Come here. Get closer, man.
06:37Zoom in on that pork, that ham.
06:39This is non-kosher, non-halal.
06:42Sorry to all my brothers that don't eat the pork.
06:45But this is a long-standing tradition in the community of Latinx.
06:57Thank you very much.
06:59There you go. You hold that camera better now.
07:05Do you have the permanent marker, please?
07:09Thank you.
07:12While Masvidal's day starts in Miami,
07:15it ends in New York
07:17as the BMF steps to the mic
07:19with fighting on his mind.
07:21There's Robbie Fox, Jack Mack, Big Ev.
07:23We are here with Jorge Gamebread Masvidal
07:26ahead of his fight with Nate Diaz,
07:28the second fight against Nate, first one in the boxing ring.
07:31I am curious. You fought him years ago at this point.
07:34Do you feel like he's a different fighter in the sense like,
07:36are you watching the film of him against Jake
07:39to prepare for this fight, or are you like,
07:41no, I knew what I was dealing with last time.
07:43I know what I'm dealing with this time.
07:45Definitely watching the film.
07:47Nate, you know, in MMA, he never like really evolved
07:49as far as like, he's a good boxer,
07:51great on the ground with his jiu-jitsu and stuff.
07:54But he didn't want to add much more than that to it.
07:56You know, he's like, I'm not taking nobody down.
07:58If they trying to take me down,
08:00it's two on nine, I'll take somebody down.
08:02Pretty good impression.
08:03Never wanted to wrestle nobody.
08:05Never wanted to kick.
08:07Never wanted a knee and elbow, you know?
08:09So I took notes of that.
08:11And in boxing, it's the same thing.
08:13I see a lot of things that where
08:15he's still kind of the same guy
08:17and that I can take advantage of it.
08:19Do you regret retiring when you did?
08:21Shit, man.
08:23Between injuries and stuff like that,
08:25I was like, maybe it's time to hang it up, you know?
08:28I hung him up and then like,
08:31I didn't do shit for like, I don't know,
08:3345, 50 days.
08:35I didn't do a fucking thing.
08:37I fell into like a deep depression.
08:39Shit got a little crazier.
08:41My pops got locked up.
08:43That's when I hit like rock bottom.
08:45And on that day that he got locked up,
08:47I went and put my running shoes on
08:49and I ran like two hours
08:51and just fucking put my shoes on
08:53and just went that way, you know?
08:55And when I came back, I just felt so fucking good.
08:57And I was like, man,
08:59I'm gonna work out every day of my fucking life
09:01whether I have a fight or not.
09:03That's how I did as a kid, you know?
09:05I'd just space out and start running
09:07and then like, the answers just come to you.
09:13For Jorge Masvidal,
09:15as long as he can remember,
09:17this is how it's been.
09:19Training as an antidote for life itself.
09:22And with his head trainer Jorge Capetillo
09:24at his side,
09:26Masvidal remains ready.
09:28Because while retirement may have briefly called to him,
09:31the competitive fire within him
09:33burns as deeply as ever.
09:40For Masvidal and Diaz,
09:42a final press conference
09:44at the site of their upcoming blockbuster bout
09:46means it's time to once again
09:48see each other face-to-face.
09:54I can just have you, Jorge.
09:58Fucking delinquent.
10:00I used to do many detention hours a day, every day.
10:03In school, they'd have me put,
10:05I, Jorge Masvidal,
10:07won't stand up out of my chair
10:09and walk around the school without permission.
10:11I, Jorge Masvidal, all that shit.
10:13So this right here always gives me trauma, man.
10:15But it's for the fans, so I love you motherfuckers.
10:19While backstage it's cordial
10:21as Masvidal and Diaz
10:23just miss encountering each other
10:25as their pre-press conference obligations are met,
10:27things have been simmering
10:29between their teams and the buildup.
10:31And soon, they will boil over.
10:33That's right.
10:45It's been a feud building over four press stops,
10:49three historic rounds,
10:51and one BMF title.
10:54All of which ultimately add up to
10:58Bad Blood.
11:03Nate, you got pride.
11:05You're a competitor like no other.
11:07What would this victory mean to you?
11:09It don't mean shit.
11:11I plan on beating everybody I ever fight.
11:13What do you care about, Nate?
11:15Not this fucking press conference, bro.
11:17I'm sick of sitting here.
11:19I'm sick of looking at all these motherfuckers.
11:21I'm sick of looking at you, too.
11:23Sick of this whole shit.
11:25Sick of looking at this motherfucker this whole time.
11:27What annoys you about him?
11:29That I ain't never tapped in.
11:31He's talking about jiu-jitsu
11:33and my whole fucking career.
11:35Bitch, I started my career right there
11:37and he's a fucking black belt.
11:39What about you?
11:41I ain't never tapped.
11:43I got choked out.
11:45I'd rather die than tap, motherfucker.
11:47That's the difference between me and you.
11:49I'm out.
11:51I'm good to see everybody.
11:53Peace out.
11:55You were out with yourself, motherfucker.
11:58The moments following the final press conference proved chaotic.
12:02With Jorge Macedal caught up in the middle of it,
12:05as well as his trainer, Jorge Capetillo,
12:08when Team Diaz escalates.
12:25Damn!
12:36Capetillo, you good?
12:44While Macedal checks on Capetillo,
12:47Team Diaz closes ranks.
12:54Make it break up, Team Diaz.
12:58What the fuck you looking at?
13:00Come down here and get your fucking asses whipped in.
13:02Sorry, motherfuckers.
13:04Yeah, turn around, bitch.
13:15Gotta go.
13:17Stop. Stop. Stop.
13:19Stop. Stop. Stop.
13:21Stop. Stop. Stop.
13:23Your coach got choked out.
13:29You guys crossed the fucking line,
13:31so whatever happens from here on out,
13:33it's not even on me.
13:35It's on you, motherfuckers.
13:37I would never disrespect somebody's coach.
13:39Once your group is, that's it.
13:41Ultimately, the score will be settled on fight night,
13:43when both fighters will walk into this same arena
13:46with the intent to inflict maximum damage.
13:53For fighters, trainers aren't just coaches.
13:56They're like family.
13:58As the fallout from Anaheim echoes inside both gyms.
14:04What happened in the Honor Center,
14:06you know, it makes it a little more personal.
14:11He really showed what kind of man Jorge is.
14:14He really showed when I was down,
14:16he came and protected me,
14:18and waking me up, you know, taking my weight, guys and stuff.
14:19So, he will see that I was okay, you know what I mean?
14:21Make sure that I was okay,
14:23because we're family here, you know.
14:25We're coming to a job to do,
14:27and sometimes circumstances get out of line.
14:29I get it.
14:31But you can see who's there and who's not,
14:33and you can see in the video who was there and who was not.
14:35I can see Jorge more intense.
14:37I can see he's pushing harder,
14:40and I can see the will,
14:42the will to win in his eyes.
14:44The fight spirit is in his eyes,
14:46so he's ready to die.
14:47Like he said, you know,
14:49every man who steps in the ring,
14:51he has to be willing to die,
14:53and he's willing to die inside of the ring
14:55and get his victory.
14:57He has trained many world champions
14:59from jump rope all the way
15:01to then fighting for a world title.
15:06Me and Capetillo have a special chemistry
15:08where we'll be together for a very long time
15:10just training and getting after it.
15:15I really feel so blessed
15:17that I got Capetillo in my corner.
15:48500 miles away,
15:50for Nate, it's Richard Perez
15:52that he's entrusting to ready him for the ring.
15:54Nathan, he's the type of guy
15:56that I really like. I'm impressed with him.
15:58He can get ready in a week.
16:00We start off as boxing, you know,
16:02hitting the bag and the mitts,
16:04and then he starts sparring.
16:06But those two things and running,
16:08it's the mitts and boxing
16:10because the mitts helps build up your stamina
16:12and being sharp.
16:14The trainer's got to do it right.
16:16I go in there and I train him like
16:18I'm his opponent.
16:20Sometimes he hits me,
16:22but hey, it's the name of the game.
16:24On fight night, regardless of emotion,
16:26it will come down to superior strength,
16:28strategy, and execution.
16:30But if these three elements
16:32make up a fighter's primary arsenal,
16:34their trainers are their secret weapon.
16:40Nate's training regimen
16:42is notoriously brutal,
16:43and that means recovery
16:45in any way possible.
16:47Therefore, outside the gym,
16:49cutting-edge techniques are being readied.
16:51This is a high-pressure
16:53cryogen medical device.
16:55It breaks down inflammation,
16:57pain management.
16:59It really helps your healing.
17:01It gets down to very, very cold temperature.
17:04It has the Ryobi combo for it.
17:07It works the best.
17:09I'm a biohacker, man.
17:11I invented my own tools
17:13for the market.
17:16I've known Nate.
17:18I know what he needs.
17:20I'd watch him before practice.
17:22Certain body parts,
17:24he would stretch out and not concede.
17:26And I know.
17:28Nate has done a lot for me.
17:30A lot of people in the team.
17:32So I want to give that back.
17:34A hundred percent.
17:36He works on all kinds of people.
17:38He's been doing it a long time.
17:40He'll always find something new
17:42After practice,
17:44if Team Diaz is letting
17:46Team Macedal get to them,
17:48they aren't showing it.
18:03We all kind of stick together.
18:05It's a lifestyle.
18:07Everybody trains all day.
18:09A lot of the homies,
18:11like me, are all on call.
18:13Soldier style, you know.
18:15If they need me to roll somewhere,
18:17I'm rolling.
18:19If we need them, we're going.
18:21It's untalked about or untold.
18:23Everybody just kind of rolls together.
18:25I didn't even know.
18:27I don't act like you knew that shit.
18:29What the fuck's wrong with this guy?
18:32And share, I'm hungry.
18:41As training camp comes to a close,
18:43in the high desert,
18:45Jorge Masvidal meets up with longtime friend
18:47Sean Strickland,
18:49who shows him his preferred way
18:51to blow off steam before fight night.
18:53Came here with the real life Terminator.
18:55Real fucking work.
18:57Let's fucking go.
18:59Leave that arsenal and shit.
19:01Sean's ready for the apocalypse
19:03and then something, man.
19:05Wait and do.
19:07Zeroing a 308 at fucking 20 yards
19:09should be a fucking crime.
19:11Woo.
19:13All right, Jorge, let's hit the two.
19:15Let's see.
19:17You know how to hold a gun right.
19:32Just give it like as fast as you can,
19:34like five taps.
19:42Let's go.
19:44What the fuck?
19:46That's some fucking power.
19:54For two of the realest fighters
19:56combat sports has ever known.
19:58Two men whose actions
20:00speak louder than words.
20:09Two men who more often than not
20:11don't give a damn.
20:13Being the baddest means something.
20:19It means something to them.
20:22It means something to their teams.
20:26And it means something to their fans.
20:28And this time, it's personal.
20:30I'ma bust his face up, man.
20:32South Florida style.
20:34I'ma play tic-tac-toe with his face.
20:36He's gonna have X's and O's all over.
20:38I'ma bust his ribs up.
20:40The first time they met,
20:42the chance for either fighter to land a knockout
20:44was taken away after only three rounds.
20:49Now, on July 6th in Anaheim,
20:52over 10 blockbuster rounds,
20:54the question of who's the true BMF
20:56will not be left undecided.
20:58It will be settled once and for all
21:01until only one man
21:03is the last man standing.
21:05I expect that there's a ready guy
21:07who's ready to knock me out.
21:09Knock you fuckin' dead, bro.
21:39I'ma bust his face up, man.
