‘UFC 237 Embedded,’ No. 3: Alexander Volkanovski declares ‘I can break anyone’

The UFC’s fourth pay-per-view of the year takes place this weekend with UFC 237, and the promotion’s popular “Embedded” series returns to get you ready.

UFC 237 takes place Saturday at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and UFC Fight Pass.

In the night’s main event, strawweight champ Rose Namajunas (8-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) returns from a career-long layoff to face dangerous Brazilian challenger Jessica Andrade (19-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC). The co-headliner featured Jared Cannonier (11-4 MMA, 4-4 UFC) taking on former longtime UFC champ Anderson Silva (34-9 MMA, 17-5 UFC) at middleweight. Also, former UFC featherweight titleholder Jose Aldo (28-4 MMA, 10-3 UFC) goes for his third straight win when he takes on Alex Volkanovski (19-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC), who is unbeaten in the UFC.

The third episode of “UFC 237 Embedded” previews those three contests. Here’s the UFC’s description:
