16 flyweight champions from around the world bring their belts to Las Vegas to compete in a single-elimination MMA tournament. Upon arrival, with their belts in hand, they head to the UFC training center where they meet UFC President Dana White and their coaches for the season, top UFC flyweight contenders Henry Cejudo and Joseph Benavidez.

During a night of drinking, Eric Shelton and Tim Elliott argue about their different approaches to the fight game. Hiromasa Ogikubo struggles with a language barrier at the house. Then, two more flyweights square off in the second fight of Round 2.

In a special two-fight episode, T.J. Dillashaw joins Team Benavidez as a guest coach to help prepare the fighters. Then, the four remaining flyweights enter the octagon for the third and fourth fights of Round 2 to determine who advances to Round 3.

One of the fighters gets emotional while talking about his family and humble upbringing. Dana White gives everyone the night off to relax and watch UFC 200 at the house. Ronaldo gets very excited watching his friend and Jiu-jitsu pupil, José Aldo claim the interim title in his fight against Frankie Edgar. As the main event plays out, Jaime is ecstatic watching his American Top Team teammate Amanda Nunes take the belt away from Miesha Tate. At training, Cejudo prepares an overly confident fighter for what he believes will be a very tough matchup against a ground specialist. Benavidez, on the other hand, is confident that his fighter has all the right skills to easily bring home the victory.

Later that evening, tempers flare after a culture clash between an international fighter and a few Americans. During the next training session, Cejudo focuses on his next fighter. With the help of his coaching staff, Cejudo decides to focus on Jiu-jitsu and takedown defense training, fearing that the fighter is not experienced enough to take on a ground specialist.

At the other team's training session, Benavidez seems quite impressed with his upcoming contender, who shows off solid all-around skills. The fighter is cautiously optimistic about the upcoming fight. He believes he needs to be careful on his feet and follow his usual game plan.

Tensions start to rise and both coaches seem eager to face each other in the octagon in the finale. The day of the fight finally comes and the two competitors deliver a great battle in the octagon. Then, the next matchup between the #4 seed and #13 seed is announced.
