‘UFC 222 Embedded,’ No. 1: In which Yana Kunitskaya trains in freezing temps at altitude

The UFC returns to pay-per-view this week, and the promotion has rolled out its “Embedded” treatment to preview UFC 222.

The event takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

In the headliner, women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg (19-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) defends her title against Invicta FC 135-pound champion Yana Kunitskaya (10-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC). And in the co-main event, top contenders Frankie Edgar (22-5-1 MMA, 16-5-1 UFC) and Brian Ortega (13-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) square off in a featherweight title eliminator.
