‘UFC 225 Embedded,’ No. 4: Colby Covington says Chicago deep-dish pizza sucks (and that’s hard to argue)

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 fourth “Embedded” episode:

On Episode 4 of UFC 225 Embedded, interim welterweight title contender Colby Covington continues his fight week family vacation. Featherweight Megan Anderson and welterweight title contender Rafael Dos Anjos continue to work their heavy hands in the training areas. Hotel ballrooms host a who’s-who of UFC 225, including middleweight champion Robert Whittaker, CM Punk, Ricardo Lamas, Andrei Arlovski and Holly Holm. Middleweight title challenger Yoel Romero joins the stars of the card for the official open workouts, where the Chicago fans make their favorites clear. 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.
