The UFC is back with its 11th pay-per-view of the year, which means the popular “Embedded” fight-week video series is here to document what’s happening behind the scenes.
UFC 293 takes place Saturday at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNews/ESPN+ and early prelims on ESPN+.
In the main event, Israel Adesanya (24-2 MMA, 13-2 UFC) attempts to make the first defense of his second middleweight title reign against Sean Strickland (27-5 MMA, 14-5 UFC).
