‘UFC 216 Embedded,’ No. 3: Derrick Lewis pushes cardio limits, tries negotiating a tasty meal


Filed under: News, UFC, Videos

The UFC returns to Las Vegas this week, and the promotion has rolled out its “Embedded” treatment for a preview of Saturday’s UFC 216 event.

UFC 216, which features two title fights, takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and UFC Fight Pass.

In the headliner, Tony Ferguson (23-3 MMA, 13-1 UFC) takes on Kevin Lee (16-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) for an interim lightweight title. The winner will stay in line for a potential unification bout against champion Conor McGregor.

In the co-main event, flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson (26-2-1 MMA, 14-1-1 UFC) looks for a UFC-record 11th straight title defense when he meets challenger Ray Borg (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC). That fight was pushed back from UFC 215 in September in Edmonton due to a Borg illness on fight day.

In the third episode of “Embedded,” Johnson tells the media he expects a finish, then taunts Lee with food at a press lunch in Los Angeles. Borg boards the plane for Las Vegas and receives applause on the short flight after the attendant announces his presence. Heavyweight Derrick Lewis pushes his cardio limits and does his best to negotiate a drive-through meal with his coach, while opponent Fabricio Werdum continues his training at the UFC Performance Institute. Las Vegas resident Lee returns to a changed city, determined to proceed with business as planned. Ferguson turns a basketball court into an MMA dojo.

Check out the full episode above.
