Summary

On Episode 2 of Inside UFC Training Camp, UFC Hall of Famer Forrest Griffin checks in with Geoff Neal, Belal Muhammad, and Khaos Williams as they continue to prepare for their fights on December 19th. How did Geoff Neal react to seeing his face on the poster for his first-ever UFC main event? How did Belal Muhammad try to beat Neal to the punch to get the main event slot? Does Khaos Williams' intense preparation cost him relationships outside of the cage? Answers to this and much more, including check-ins with each of the athlete’s coaches and a surprise interaction with one of the athlete’s pet parrot. Plus, Forrest recounts some of his best stories from his time in the Octagon. He also gives advice to the guys on how to cut weight the right way, how to be selfish during fight week and whether sexual relations should be a part of fight preparations.
