‘UFC 222 Embedded,’ No. 5: ‘Close your eyes and throw something’

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) looks to defend her title when she meets 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.

Here’s the UFC’s description of the fifth “Embedded” episode:

“On Episode 5 of UFC 222 Embedded, bantamweight Sean O’Malley weighs his options for Vegas entertainment then rewatches his opponent’s last fight. Bantamweight Cat Zingano embraces her return to action with her longtime coach. Featherweight Brian Ortega prepares specifically for Frankie Edgar’s striking style. Strawweight Mackenzie Dern trains at the UFC Performance Institute, where she crosses paths with her opponent Ashley Yoder.”
