to you for a second?

Sure.

I just want to tell you

how grateful we are

for everything you've been

doing for my family.

It's been an honor.

He's my hero.

Mine, too.

Thank you.

All right, you gonna

wish me luck or what?

Please be careful.

Niko says this guy you're

fighting is really dangerous.

Look, I'm going in there,

I'm gonna lose the fight,

get my 10 grand,

and I'm getting out.

I know you really want

to kiss me right now.

But I think we have

something special here,

and I don't want

to rush the magic.

Okay, first of all, do you

know anything about magic?

'Cause magic has to be rushed,

otherwise you can see

how the trick is done.

So, bring it in.

Give him your best shot, Scott.

Right here.

Mmm-mmm.

What is that?

Cherry cheesecake, guy.

That looks heavenly.

Could I have one?

Thank you so much.

Give me a slice, guy.

Oh, wow.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wow!

Wow.

Yeah. You know what,

give me a little bit...

Hey!

What?

What are you doing, man?

Just a little bite.

No way,

you're fighting tomorrow.

Come on.

I made weight today.

- Doesn't matter.

- Bro, you've been eating clean

for six weeks. You eat this

crap and you'll be lethargic.

I don't care if

I'm "lethargic."

One bite, come on, man.

Mmm-mmm. Mmm-mmm.

Stay strong, Scott.

After the fight.

Have it after the fight.

Fine, just give me a smell.

Can I get a smell of it?

Can I get a sniff in there?

Here you go.

Look at him.

I'll take it.

I'll take it.

Guy, he's fighting tomorrow.

Oh, it's on, man.

It's on, boom, man.

It's on!

You want some?

Boink!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Come on, guys.

We're making a mess here.

Look, we represent the UFC.

Let's act like it's not our

first time to the dance, okay?

I'm getting a call.

Hold on a second.

No claws, no claws.

Guys, guys, guys, guys.

Take it easy.

He's right,

we're making a mess.

Let's take it down a notch.

Want some of this?

What are you... Oh!

What you want?

Hey, you want some?

Hello?

Hi, it's Bella.

Hey. Glad you called.

Did you hear the news?

Elkins was arrested today.

What?

Oh, it's horrible.

Apparently, he's been embezzling

from the school for years.

You're kidding me.

He took it, Scott.

All the money that you raised

for the music program,

it's gone.

It's over.

Just come back.

I can't. I got to do this.

The money is gone, Scott.

There's nothing

to fight for any more.

Nothing to fight for?

I mean, everyone's

quit on these kids.

Elkins, the system,

the school, even me.

I can't...

I can't do it again.

I don't want you to get hurt.

You're a teacher.

What are you teaching these kids

if you go through with it?

What am I

teaching them if I don't?

Can I call you later?

Sure.

Bye.

Okay, bye.

Hi, again, everybody.

I'm Mike Goldberg.

Welcome to UFC 176.

We are live in Las Vegas.

Sold-out MGM

Grand Garden Arena,

where, later tonight,

in our main event,

two of the best heavyweights in

the Octagon today will collide.

Joe Rogan, my partner,

that is a great fight.

Fantastic matchup.

Shane Carwin versus

Junior Dos Santos.

Two of the best

heavyweight knockout artists

in the sport collide tonight.

We also have a very interesting

UFC debut tonight.

Scott Voss, a biology

teacher from Boston.

Now, here's the good news,

he was a Division 1

college wrestler.

Here's the bad news,

that was 20 years ago,

and he's facing Ken "The

Executioner" Dietrich.

And everyone

around the world knows

how vicious and dangerous

Ken Dietrich can be.

And I think he's gonna

be looking to make

a huge statement tonight

against the UFC newcomer.

Let's get UFC 176 underway.

All right, guys.

We should start heading out.

Hey. I need you to

forget about Elkins.

All right?

No matter what happens tonight,

I promise you, we are gonna

figure this thing out.

Look at me.

I need you.

Okay.

All right.

Voss and Dietrich,

what a great story.

Biology teacher from Boston

making his UFC debut.

And Dietrich is angry.

He's looking for

the highlight-reel knockout.

He was supposed to be

fighting a top-20 contender.

That fell out, and he takes this

schoolteacher fight on last minute.

He's trying to send a message.

He's trying to tell

the world that Scott Voss

does not belong in the Octagon.

Amen. Let's do this.

Amen.

It sounds different.

Yeah, it does sound different.

Come here.

You're not gonna believe this.

How did they...

You put this all together?

Wasn't me.

How did you do this?

I called him.

Be safe.

Thank you.

He looks good.

He does look good.

Got nothing on you though.

My little fireplug.

Aw.

Yeah.

"Fireplug."

It's a compliment.

Okay.

No matter what happens,

I'm so proud of you.

This is great. Come on!

All right, Scott, let's go.

Get up there, baby, let's go.

Getup!

Good song, man.

Good song. It's a scary song.

Don't worry about it.

It's a cool song.

You go first.

Hey, look at him right there.

He's got no business

being in here with you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

this fight is three rounds

in the UFC

Heavyweight Division.

Introducing first, fighting

out of the red corner,

out of Boston, Massachusetts,

Scott Voss!

Mr. Voss! Mr. Voss!

And now

introducing his opponent,

fighting out of

the blue corner,

out of Lake Forest, California,

Ken "The Executioner" Dietrich!

Come on!

Kill him, baby!

And when the action begins, our

referee in charge, Herb Dean.

All right, gentlemen.

We've been over the rules

in the dressing room.

Protect yourself at all times.

You're gonna

follow my instructions.

We're gonna keep it

clean, everything above the belt.

We're gonna keep

our hands closed.

No grabbing the fence.

We're not gonna

grab the shorts...

All right, gentlemen.

Touch gloves,

let's make it official.

Hey, take it to the ground

as fast as possible.

Let me ask you guys something.

How much do I get if we win?

What are you saying?

I know what he's saying.

Fifty grand.

Holy smoke.

Let's win this thing.

Yeah!

That's right.

Go get him, kid.

I like it.

UFC debut for Scott

Voss, the biology teacher.

You ready to fight?

You ready?

Let's do it.

Here we go!

Oh, huge Superman Punch

right out of the gate!

Cover up!

Cover up, Scott! Cover up!

Big hooks to

the body and the head!

Dietrich is swarming him!

Cover up, Scott!

Dietrich is lethal

on the ground.

You need to get on top, Scott!

Up, up, up, up, up, up, up!

Scott Voss is in

pure survival mode.

Oh, my goodness!

What is

keeping this guy in there?

Pull down, Scott!

Don't stop, Scott!

Keep scrambling, buddy!

Herb Dean

right on top of the action.

He may stop this fight.

Fight back.

Protect yourself.

Voss is in all kinds

of trouble here, Mike!

This is ugly!

What a great round

for Ken Dietrich.

And what a terrifying

first round for Scott Voss.

You got to give him credit, though.

The kid can take a beating.

No question about it.

You all right?

He is so good.

He's so good, man.

He hit me flush,

so freakin' flush.
