‘UFC 225 Embedded,’ No. 3: CM Punk, Clay Guida take us out to the ballgame

The UFC is in “The Windy City” this week for a pay-per-view featuring two title fights, and the promotion has rolled out its “Embedded” treatment to preview UFC 225.

UFC 225 takes place Saturday at United Center in Chicago, and the main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

In the headliner, middleweight champion Robert Whittaker (19-4 MMA, 10-2 UFC) and Yoel Romero (13-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC) meet in a rematch for the title. In the co-feature, Colby Covington (13-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) takes on Rafael dos Anjos (28-9 MMA, 17-7 UFC) for the interim welterweight title.

In addition, Megan Anderson (7-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) meets former women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm (11-4 MMA, 4-4 UFC) in a featherweight bout; former heavyweight champ Andrei Arlovski (27-15 MMA, 16-9 UFC) takes on Tai Tuivasa (9-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC); and Phil “CM Punk” Brooks (0-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) gets another shot when he meets Mike Jackson (0-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at welterweight.

Here’s the UFC’s description of the third “Embedded” episode:

On Episode 3 of UFC 225 Embedded, interim welterweight title contender Colby Covington talks about the downside of his bad-guy persona, and middleweight champion Robert Whittaker destresses with a favorite pastime. Heavyweight Tai Tuivasa continues his Chicago takeover to the point that he steps in as tour guide. Fighters check in, including featherweight Megan Anderson and middleweight title challenger Yoel Romero, and the Australians on the card brave a cold-weather photo shoot. Chicago’s own UFC 225 stars CM Punk and Clay Guida provide musical entertainment at a Cubs game. UFC 225 Embedded is an all-access, behind-the-scenes video blog leading up to the two world title fights on Saturday, June 9th on Pay-Per-View.
