This episode follows UFC fighter Ilia Topuria during his fight camp preparation leading up to a championship bout in Washington. The episode captures a last-minute photo shoot for brand Montreaux in Coconut Grove, Florida, and intense sparring sessions where training partners describe the overwhelming power of Topuria's strikes.

Summary

The seventh episode of 'Road To The White House' documents Ilia Topuria's fight camp preparations as he approaches a major UFC title fight. The episode is divided into two main segments.

The first major segment takes place in Coconut Grove, Florida, where the production team organized a brand photo shoot for Montreaux — a clothing or lifestyle brand that Topuria is associated with. A crew member explains that the entire shoot was arranged in just four days after learning about the opportunity on a Friday. Despite the tight timeline, the team secured a luxury mansion, assembled a full crew, and completed the shoot in approximately 10 hours. The spokesperson describes it as 'pulling off a miracle in Miami' and expresses optimism heading into the Washington fight.

The second major segment focuses on sparring sessions during fight camp. Training partners share their experiences sparring with Topuria, describing his punching power as exceptional and physically damaging — one partner mentions his liver being significantly hurt after the session. The sparring partners were tasked with imitating Justin Gaethje's fighting style, which they describe as particularly difficult due to his unorthodox punching angles. Despite the challenge, they note the experience as invaluable for skill development. One sparring partner predicts Topuria will finish his opponent in the first round.
