After a month of training, Matt Ruskin and Baby Balls head down to Atlanta for the fight. The two have starved themselves almost to the point of actual starvation to make Matt’s weight class, but once they’ve been weighed they’ve got a full 24 hours to put all the lost pounds back on. What follows is a junk-food and burger binge the likes of which haven’t been seen since Belushi speedballed his way to glutton’s heaven.

In this edition, Matt gets a rare day off both training and work a week before his fight. He and Baby Balls run some errands, get some food, and talk about what led him into ultimate fighting in the first place. Lot of bio-y stuff.

In the fifth episode, Baby Balls follows Matt to his bi-weekly muscle conditioning at a local high school. The workout, a “fighting matrix” developed specifically for MMA training by gym coach Allen Spindell, is basically an hour-long punishment session involving weight-lifting, pull-ups, push-ups, hammer throws, running up and down eight flights of stairs three times, and a warm-up that’s heavier than most people’s entire exercise routines.

In this episode, Baby Balls returns to Matt Ruskin’s place to watch his previous three fights on his computer. The two talk about the history of the sport, its persistent image problems, and Matt’s stint in Iraq as a Marine.

In part 3, Baby Balls accompanies Matt to his tri-weekly boxing practice at Gleason’s Gym in Brooklyn. Mike, Matt’s striking instructor and corner guy for this match, explains the standing side of MMA to Balls and literally shows him the ropes.

In this episode, Baby Balls and Matt Ruskin go back to Matt’s Staten Island apartment to do midnight sprints. They also begin their “weight cut” for the fight, which is what athletes call dieting for fear of sounding like a teenage girl or Cathy.
