‘UFC 238 Embedded,’ No. 2: Tony Ferguson talks ‘hardcore’ comeback

The UFC’s fifth pay-per-view of the year takes place Saturday with UFC 238, and the promotion’s popular “Embedded” series returns to get you ready.

UFC 238 takes place at United Center in Chicago. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+/UFC Fight Pass.

In the main event, flyweight champion Henry Cejudo (14-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) moves up 10 pounds to take on Marlon Moraes (22-5-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) for the vacant bantamweight title. Cejudo is attempting to become the fourth fighter in UFC history to hold two belts at the same time.

In the co-feature, women’s flyweight champ Valentina Shevchenko (16-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) defends her belt for the first time when she meets challenger Jessica Eye (14-6 MMA, 4-5 UFC). Plus, former interim lightweight titleholder Tony Ferguson (24-3 MMA, 14-1 UFC) returns to take on Donald Cerrone (36-11 MMA, 23-8 UFC).

The second episode of “UFC 238 Embedded” previews the top two title fights. Here’s the UFC’s description:

On Episode 2 of UFC 238 Embedded, flyweight champion Henry Cejudo packs for fight week, making a stop in LA to do media and demand latte.

Women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko spends another day at the office with her longtime trainer, as opponent Jessica Eye augments her namesake feature. And former lightweight champion Tony Ferguson embraces his return to competition, turning the world into his gym. UFC 238 Embedded is an all-access, behind-the-scenes video blog leading up to the two title fights taking place Saturday, June 8th on Pay-Per-View.
