'UFC 188 Embedded,' No. 1: 'He's an American that thinks he's Mexican'

It’s a new fight week, which brings the debut episode of “UFC 188 Embedded” and a preview of Saturday’s pay-per-view event.

The online series previews the event at Mexico City Arena in Mexico, including the main event: a heavyweight title-unification bout between champ Cain Velasquez (13-1 MMA, 11-1 UFC) and interim titleholder Fabricio Werdum (19-5-1 MMA, 7-2 UFC).

In the debut episode, Werdum takes a tour of his “Mexican prison,” a quaint compound where he and his training partners and other fighters are preparing for UFC 188. Velasquez, meanwhile, tours the city with his camp.

During one segment, Werdum makes fun of Velasquez, a San Jose-based fighter and Mexican-American. As the interim champ tells one fan, Velasquez is “an American that thinks he’s Mexican.”

Check out the full episode above.
