Previously on "the ultimate fighter"...
14 welterweights arrived at the UFC training center
and were quickly put to the test
by coaches Brock lesnar and junior dos Santos.
I'm sorry.
A knee injury forced myles jury out of the competition...
You can't stay here.
Are you the new man? Yes, sir.
Opening the door for alternate Chuck o'Neil
to join team lesnar.
Then junior's number-one pick , shamar Bailey,
took out nordin asrih of team lesnar.
Team dos Santos jumps out to the early lead.
If they win this next fight, it's gonna be a long road.
Who will move one step closer
to becoming the ultimate fighter?
♪ the ultimate is what's in store
♪ bear witness to the fitness of the modern warrior
♪ and they go boom, another hit is landing
♪ boom, another hit is landing
♪ the stealth of a sniper, the strike of a viper
♪ they're training to challenge the ultimate fighter
Nobody died by get tired, so keep going.
Go. Go!
Switch!
Let's go, guys!
Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
Let's go! Let's go!
Yeah. Let's go!
Shamar won the first fight,
so junior dos Santos keep the control of the fight picks.
I'm thinking about javier and Ramsey to put to fight,
but I want to see against who.
Switch! Switch! Go!
Getting that first win, getting off to the right foot...
I think it was real important for our team.
Go! Don't give up!
A couple guys are kind of lacking in the mental aspect.
Go, Keon.
If I had lost, I think we might have seen an avalanche
going in the wrong direction.
Let's go, Keon! Go, Keon! Go!
Keon is mentally struggling right now.
Go on! I know you got more! Give more!
He sees everybody pushing through everything...
Laughing, joking.
He feels a little left out,
so we're trying to build him back up right now.
Time! Come on!
Nice. Whoo!
That was nice.
Yeah, that's it, man. You have to push more, more.
I like it. You don't stop.
It's very important for you.
If you don't stop like this,
like you do here, man, I'm happy.
That's it.
I got to throw up.
Good. There. Now go there now.
I got to throw up. Got to throw up.
Tired? Ah, throw up?
So go in the bath... Or the restroom.
Fast, man. I need you back here.
Yeah, I think I'm falling behind
'cause I don't think my mind is here.
I think my mind's at where my family's at.
It's hard to leave family and come this far,
and you can't talk to them or anything,
so it's like being in isolation,
so...
It's kind of hard.
Keon?
Come back, man. Go. Go. Go.
Come on, guys.
You guys are [Bleep] Slow. Come on.
I hate to lose, and I hate to say it,
but I expected us to lose yesterday.
I didn't expect a win yesterday because of just the pick.
And I'm just being honest, you know?
Go. Climb back. Climb back.
So we'll see what this next pick is,
and hopefully we turn things around here.
You have him right here.
Right.
Get underneath him, man, under the pit.
Push him. Push him. Push him.
Get up on this arm. Up, up, up, up, up.
But, you know, we've got very little time to help these kids,
and we're doing what we can,
and we think we're on the right track.
Stop. Stop right there.
Stay right where you're at.
Yeah.
This knee either goes down, moving it past,
or grab the knee, pull it behind, get your hips going.
All the guys here lack a bit of wrestling,
and that's what we're really focused on... on wrestling.
But you can't make chicken salad out of chicken [Bleep] You know?
You can't Polish turds and make them look pretty, so...
But we're doing what we can.
In three days, somebody's fighting, all right?
So the That works for you
in your black-belt jujitsu class...
When there's punches involved, all right,
it's a whole nother Level here, fellas.
You understand me. You all have fought before, right?
Keep that in mind here.
Man, if we don't... if we don't win this next fight,
you know, Brock is probably gonna kill us.
Time. 30 seconds to find a new partner.
Vans are here!
Iándale! Iándale!
My daughter ... she's 6 years old,
and when I was coming out to Vegas,
she was screaming, "daddy, I love you.
I'm gonna miss you. I'm gonna miss you."
All I can hear in the back of my head
is my little girl calling my name, saying she misses me.
Oh, yeah?
So, what you want to do?
Keon come to me and said, "man, I think I will give up."
And that make me very surprise...
"What? Give up? Give up?"
It's the opportunity of your life, man.
Give up? Don't... don't do it.
Sometimes you need to be strong, you know?
It's gonna be way better if you stay here.
I talked to junior.
He said it's kind of hard, but you have to bear through it.
But I don't know. It's hard.
That's right.
At the end of the day, he's a grown man.
He has to make his own decision,
but you should know what you're here for.
And if you got to have somebody convince you,
you don't belong here.
What's up, buddy?
Dana white came out to another practice...
Kind of like the principal coming in the schoolroom.
I'm looking for Keon.
Dana.
I'm looking for Keon.
Keon?
I seen Dana white coming through the door.
When he asked for me,
I knew there was gonna be some serious talking,
and it was gonna be man-to-man talk.
I'm just worried about Gladys.
I ain't worried about the training or anything.
I'm just worried about my daughter.
You know what I mean? Aren't you here for your daughter?
You're 9-1, right? Is that your record? 8-1.
8-1? Yes, sir.
Do you want to be a professional fighter? Oh, yeah.
You want to do this? Yes, sir.
Do you want to win this [Bleep] Thing? Yes, sir.
Do you want to be in the UFC? Yes, sir.
Do you want to be a world champion? Yeah.
Focus on why you came here. Yes, sir.
You're here for her. Yes, sir.
All right? Make the best of this thing. Thank you, Dana.
You good? Yes, sir.
All right. Appreciate it.
All right, man. Appreciate you coming to talk to me.
He asked me, do I really want to be here?
I told him, "yeah."
And he said, "well, suck it up and just be a fighter.
"You want to be in the UFC,
this is the place where they get to it."
So I got to do what I got to do.
This fight announcement is brought to you by dodge.
We are dodge, and we are never neutral.
Team dos Santos still have the control of the fight pick.
From my team, I pick javier.
I chose javier because he is very confidence guy,
and like he really wants be a UFC fighter.
So I think he's ready.
From Brock's team, I pick Chris.
Team dos Santos... they're doing the right thing.
They're doing exactly what we would do.
They're picking their cream of their crop
against our weaker guys.
So we're a little nervous about this fight.
Well, I'm fighting Chris cope.
And I tell my coaches I'm ready for any guy.
I really don't mind who it is.
I'm ready mentally, physical.
My body is ready. My... everything is ready.
My opponent is javier Torres.
He's probably their second most skilled guy,
if not their best guy.
He's gonna go for broke, you know?
He's gonna be the kind of guy that's not gonna quit.
And if you're gonna beat him,
you're gonna have to take his heart.
He was shaking. Look.
Chris cope... don't know if it's 'cause he was scared
or he's got no muscle endurance,
but he be shaking like a [Bleep] Duck.
He hates being grinded against the cage.
He hates wrestlers.
He doesn't... he's not good on his back.
I know Chris personally.
I trained with Chris for a year at team quest.
I know he's a part-time fighter. He's not fully committed.
Take him down, beat the [Bleep] Out of him,
and if he gets up again, same thing... repeat.
The guy just has so many glaring negatives
that javier can take advantage of at any given time.
We have a script and you just follow the script word for word
and then you're gonna look like the greatest actor ever, okay?
You go off script, you're gonna be [Bleep] Horrible,
a "b" actor making soft porn.
All right?
All right.
Javier, all you got.
Go.
Harder! Harder!
Good.
11 years ago... it was like a Mexican market,
and I got like a UFC DVD.
And I started looking at it and the UFC and all that.
And I told my mom, "look, mom...
One day I'm just gonna ... I'm gonna be there."
And my mom... she like bops me on the head.
"Are you crazy? You're gonna go to school. Look at that."
Box. Hurt him. Hurt your opponent.
So I go to school, do this, do that.
I get into some boxing match in Mexico. Yeah!
Yeah.
Come to the United States and start training...
Mixed martial arts, you know?
So the point is all your dreams can come true, you know?
It's... just like that, bro, you know?
Hard work... always, I say hard, hard work.
Yes! Knee! For your family, kick harder!
I'm excited to see javier fight.
I think he's gonna run through Chris.
Don't... use your arms.
Javier... he's a little eccentric,
but he's tough as nails, top to bottom.
20 seconds to win the fight!
In my mind, he's gonna beat the guy easy.
Keep going.
Ugh! Do another one.
Time! Yeah. Good, good, good, good.
Get up and...
Yeah.
The winner. That's it.
Let's go. Don't cross. Don't stay in front.
After Keon said, "I want to stay,"
coach lew did the training.
Come on. Come on.
Why are you squaring up? Come on.
Lew push a lot in the training, so it was a hard training.
And after the training, Keon comes for me again and just...
"Junior, come here.
I'm sorry, but I decide I want to back to my family."
And if you want, I agree. Yeah.
That's it, you know?
If you want to go back to your daughter,
the family is what we have,
the more important in our life, so...
That's it.
Come on and give a hug for everybody.
In my mind, he should stay and try his best.
And after here, everything will...
Was supposed to be better for his family,
for his... for himself.
And not good choice, Keon. Yeah.
I understand, man.
It's very hard to leave this opportunity
because it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
I might even get this chance again.
But my family right now...
That's all in my mind right now, really.
So...Peace.
See you.
The only upside to this thing is that it happened earlier enough
to get his ass out of here and get somebody real in here now
that can run with this opportunity
and make something out of it.
Bye, bye, bye.
Bye, man. Good luck, man.
Good luck.
What's that? Side to side.
I want you to go around the cage.
Team dos Santos... they might be underestimating me a little bit.
Lew, their coach... He's trained with me.
He knows what I'm good at. He knows what I'm not good at.
Go up. One, three, two.
One, three... one, three, two.
He knows that I'm different than most of these guys
because I've got an 8-hour job.
I've only got certain windows when I can train
and when I can make stuff happen.
Don't go to your knees. No.
Stay standing. All right.
And there's been plenty of people that have told me
that I couldn't have accomplished
what I've already accomplished, but I never believed them.
Don't roll. Yeah.
'Cause he's back in the triangle. Yeah.
I don't have quit in me, and I'm a grinder.
That's the way I've always been.
So javier... you know, he's gonna have a fight.
Put your forehead right under his chin.
You don't have a head position.
Put your forehead... Boom... right there.
What have I learned from Chris so far as a fighter?
You know, I'd like to see something
that we, as his coaches, haven't seen out of him.
He doesn't wow us.
I haven't seen that out of Chris yet.
Now, as soon as he tries to pull you off to run the...
Plant that foot.
There you go.
Takes it away totally. All right, reverse.
So I'm hoping that Chris will show up for fight day
and, you know, really wow us.
Bring it in, guys.
How many of you guys
ever heard about the term "any given Sunday"?
What does that mean? What does that mean to you guys?
Anyone can win on any day. Every dog's got his day.
Every dog has his day.
And for me... prime example...
I was pushed through as this indestructible,
you know, non-human person, and we're all human.
We're all created equal.
And the reason I'm thinking about this
is because all the great champions of all time
have suffered a loss throughout their careers.
And it could be anybody.
And it's... anybody can take over at any time.
And so, Chris, understand that when that door gets shut,
if you want to improve your life, you need to win.
And you'll do anything in your power to do so.
Take it, seize the moment, and understand anything can happen.
This is fighting. It's a matter of inches.
It's a matter of putting the leather where it has to go.
Any given Sunday, anybody can win, all right?
Throw some punches.
They're practicing in the bathroom.
If that was one of my fighters,
I'd be like, "get your ass out of the [Bleep] Bathroom."
Oh, yeah, yeah, if I was coa... you know,
if that was a guy I was coaching, I'd say,
"look, man... just save that nervous energy for the fight.
Don't get rid of it now."
I think Chris' nerves
are getting the best of him a little bit, you know?
I think he needs to relax.
This is what we've been doing for awhile, so it is what it is.
I want to stay positive,
but I just don't know if I'd put my money on Chris.
I hope I'm wrong, but, you know,
beautiful thing is that's why we fight.
We'll find out tomorrow.
Whoo!
What do you got there, Chris?
It's just a letter my girl wrote.
Boost the confidence, you know? Yeah.
Before I came here, my girl back home wrote a letter,
and what it basically stated was this is my destiny...
It's not an accident that I'm in this house.
Whoo!
It's not an accident I'm around these guys.
This was already predetermined.
It was already mapped out.
Bun-bun?
She said, "no matter how hard it gets in that house,
you got bun-bun to protect you."
Also, her daughter gave me bun-bun.
You know, the rabbit
kind of allows me to mellow out a little bit.
It's a little corny, but at the same time,
it allows me to mentally feel like I'm at home,
even though I'm not,
and realize that as long as you stay positive, you know,
good things will happen.
Before I come over here,
I find out my wife is gonna be pregnant.
So I'm so excited.
My mind is going crazy, my body, my heart, everything.
And I love it. I love it.
I'm just so excited and I'm so proud
and I'll do all this for my wife and for my baby,
for my family, for my parents, bro, I swear.
Rah!
Ahh!
Whoo!
Whoo! Do it.
Let's roll, guys.
Any given Sunday, baby.
I'm here as a man, as a fighter, just as he is.
And just, you know, once the cage door is closed,
it's in God's hands.
It's out of my hands at that point.
Whoo!
Get going, baby! Get going.
Your time, javier, your time.
Yeah. I can see it.
You already know the way to win, man.
Yeah!
Let's go, baby! Let's go!
And I'm just pretty excited.
You know, I'm just gonna go there, do my best.
And I'm gonna win.
I'm gonna go to the next round, and I tell you...
"The ultimate fighter" season 13 is gonna be a Mexican guy.
Let's go, javier. Let's go, cope.
Let's go, javi!
Kick his ass, cope!
Yeah. He's nervous.
Come on, buddy. Just fight.
Your time, javier, your time.
Whoo!

I think we did it, baby. I think we did it.
This fight replay is brought to you
by the United States marine corps...
The few, the proud , the marines.
Javier got some good moments in the fight.
He throw good punches.
He threw a knee, and Chris got a cut.
I think javier stay on the control.
Break free!
I think they orchestrated the waltz
for two rounds.
Come on, Chris!
I definitely saw the frustration in Brock's face
when Chris wasn't doing what they wanted him to do.
Yeah, javier!
The whole time, it was very close.
Let's go!
All right, all three judges scored it the same,
10-9, for the winner, Chris cope.
Whoo!
Whoo! We're back!
Yes!
Today was a big, big step to getting us the control back.
Now team dos Santos gets to walk around the house and be nervous.
Wow. Good stuff, fellas.
Whoo! Yeah! Yeah!
Chicken salad out of chicken
That's what we are! We chicken
We make do with what we got, right?
Any given Sunday, fellas.
Any given Sunday, anybody can win.
There wasn't nothing fancy or pretty or cool
about Chris' win.
He just showed perseverance and heart, and I was wowed by that.
Huh?
Kiss it! Kiss it! Kiss it! Yeah!
It's normal for us.
That's why we are fighters, you know?
Yeah.
It's gonna make you stronger now.
We're gonna come back stronger here next time.
Listen... you hear that?
If that doesn't piss you off,
then you don't need to be in here.
Like, these coaches...
They're gonna make light of the situation.
They're gonna be more positive.
I'm not. This is ridiculous.
This team is way better than that team.
And now they have momentum. Now they have choice.
Now we lost control.
So no more [Bleep] Around.
This should eat you up until you're ready to fight again.
On the next episode of "the ultimate fighter"...
Team dos Santos welcomes a new fighter to their squad.
If we get kind of a knucklehead,
it might cause some tension.
Let's go, Zach! You're losing right now.
Coach lew takes training too far...
He's cut.
Forcing junior to put him in his place.
I am the coach here, you know?
You guys can't tell Chris nothing.
He's that guy.
Chris is kind of playing both sides.
And will dissension in the ranks
kill team lesnar's momentum?
Will you talk to him? Keep his mouth shut.
Then two more welterweights face off in the cage.
That was nice. Good fight.
Who will move one step closer
to becoming the next ultimate fighter?
