It won’t be Conor McGregor’s comeback fight as originally planned, but the UFC is back in Las Vegas with UFC 303, which means the popular “Embedded” fight week video series is here to document what’s happening behind the scenes.
UFC 303 (pay-per-view/ESPN/ESPN+) takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena and is headlined by a light heavyweight title rematch between champion Alex Pereira (10-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) and former champ Jiri Prochazka (30-4-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC). In the co-main event, former featherweight title challenger Brian Ortega (16-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) takes on rising contender Diego Lopes (24-6 MMA, 3-1 UFC).
The fourth episode of “Embedded” follows the featured fighters while they get ready for fight week. Here is the UFC’s description of the episode from YouTube:
Michael “Venom” Page has a photo shoot; Alex Pereira arrives in Las Vegas and gets a haircut and facial; Mayra Bueno Silva trains and has lunch; Joe Pyfer almost misses his flight; athletes check in for UFC 303 fight week.
