The UFC closes out its 2017 campaign on Saturday, and the promotion has rolled out its “Embedded” treatment for a preview of Saturday’s UFC 219 event.
UFC 219 takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with a pay-per-view main card following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
In the headliner, women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg (18-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) takes on former titleholder Holly Holm (11-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC), and in the co-headliner, Edson Barboza (19-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC) meets fellow lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov (24-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC).
In the first episode of “Embedded,” the fighters – including main-card opponents Cynthia Calvillo (6-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) and Carla Esparza (12-4 MMA, 3-2 UFC) – wrap up their camps at home, and it includes Holm’s story of forced booger-eating, thanks to her brothers. Cyborg laments her lack of holiday celebrations, Calvillo has kind words for her Team Alpha Male teammates, and Nurmagomedov gets advice from champ and teammate Daniel Cormier.
Check out the full episode above.
