'UFC 189 Championship Tour Embedded,' No. 7: Aldo gets all 'Scarface,' Conor channels Ali

In the seventh episode of “UFC 189 World Championship Tour Embedded” in advance of July’s blockbuster featherweight title fight, Jose Aldo immerses himself in “Scarface,” and challenger Conor McGregor channels Muhammad Ali.

This time, the fighters are in New York City and Toronto, and it seems both are starting to wear thin on the promotional blitz and are intent on sneaking in some training whenever and wherever possible. But in between media obligations and time in the gym, cameras catch up to both fighters enjoying a little free time.

The organization announced earlier this month announced a 12-day, 10-city media tour to promote UFC 189’s pay-per-view headliner between Aldo (25-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) and McGregor (17-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC). It takes place July 11 at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena, and ahead of the summer blockbuster, the UFC’s “Embedded” series joins them on the tour.

In the seventh episode, McGregor takes on UFC President Dana White in a little “EA UFC” and also takes a few pictures reminiscent of the legendary Ali. Meanwhile, Aldo recites “Scarface” lines as he seems ready to end McGregor’s meteoric rise.
