Staying in shape and full intensity training are two very different things. For these guys to be as sharp as they can be generally even if they come into camp in good shape they need at least 6 weeks to maximize their reflexes and stamina to peak conditions. Especially for a fight like this where we have the two fastest guys in the tournament, and so much they do relies on reflexes and staying sharp.
