Watch Khabib UFC 223 Training Camp Episode 2

Watched the first one the other day and here's the second one:
No new territory charted in this one, they've left out any real sparring footage/striking and included only some short clips more playfully grappling and fighting for takedowns than anything, a testament to the intensity of the pressure of this title fight and the respect for Ferguson as an opponent.
They show some footage of interviewing Khabib's father, and head/original coach, and he emphasizes the choices men face and their expectations in Dagestan and the reality of growing up there and sport as a viable career and in service of the strength of their nation in uncertain times. 

This fight has me as excited for a UFC fight since Conor faced Alvarez for the title, insomuch as I fully expect a lot of grappling as well, and I'm exceedingly interested to see how this fight unfolds. Ferguson is tough and his penchant for fighting through adversity is what I really hope to see take Khabib through 5 grueling rounds.
