‘UFC 216 Embedded,’ No. 2: ‘The celebration of our hard work and determination’
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 second episode of “Embedded,” Ferguson gets in some specialized training with coach Eddie Bravo before taking a road trip to Las Vegas. Lee goes through a fight-night simulation. Fabricio Werdum has the UFC Performance Institute all to himself and makes “the face,” while Derrick Lewis goes hard at his home gym in Houston. Flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson leaves Seattle for Southern California, while title contender Ray Borg introduces us to his pet pig.
Check out the full episode above.
