Mehdi Baghdad from Season 22 opens the show talking to the viewing audience and telling everybody that he is the best on the show, how much he’s changed since his first stint on the reality series and how excited he is to be fighting Jesse Taylor by show’s end. Coach Cody Garbrandt is pumped up about how his pupil has been training and he’s confident that the Frenchman will prevail.
Season 7’s Taylor is at the house, reliving his buffoonery on how he got kicked off the show. The drunken hooliganism was out of control and at first, he doesn’t seem to be too remorseful for how he much of an ass he was.
