The UFC returns to Brazil, and to pay-per-view this weekend, and the promotion has rolled out its “Embedded” treatment to preview UFC 224.
UFC 224 takes place Saturday at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, and the main card airs on pay-per-view following preliminary-card bouts on FX and UFC Fight Pass.
In the headliner, women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes (15-4 MMA, 8-1 UFC) fights in her home country against challenger Raquel Pennington (9-5 MMA, 6-2 UFC). In the co-feature, Kelvin Gastelum (14-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) takes on Ronaldo Souza (25-5 MMA, 8-2 UFC). Plus, Vitor Belfort (26-13 MMA, 15-10 UFC) meets Lyoto Machida (23-8 MMA, 15-8 UFC) in a bout between Brazilian legends and former champs, and Mackenzie Dern (6-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) takes on Amanda Cooper (3-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC).
Here’s the UFC’s description of the fifth “Embedded” episode:
On Episode 5 of UFC 224 Embedded, the Brazilians on the card shine for the cameras, as Vitor Belfort, John Lineker, Lyoto Machida, Jacare Souza and Amanda Nunes do photos and interviews. Strawweight Mackenzie Dern trains at the gym of Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. At official open workouts, middleweight Kelvin Gastelum impresses the crowd by speaking Portuguese, and the crowd impresses title challenger Raquel Pennington by not booing her. UFC 224 Embedded is an all-access, behind-the-scenes video blog leading up to the women’s bantamweight championship at UFC 224 on Saturday, May 12th on Pay-Per-View.
