'UFC 197 Embedded,' No. 2: Jones at ESPN, 'OSP' at UT; Cejudo corners, 'DJ' does dishes


It’s fight week in Las Vegas, and the UFC is rolling out the “Embedded” treatment for a preview of Saturday’s big UFC 197 event.

The online series previews the card, which takes place at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.

In the main event, Jon Jones (21-1 MMA, 15-1 UFC) returns to the octagon for the first time since a suspension for his involvement in a hit-and-run incident this past April. The former light heavyweight champion faces Ovince Saint Preux (19-7 MMA, 7-2 UFC), who steps in for an injured Daniel Cormier. The bout is for the interim belt. The co-main event sees Demetrious Johnson (23-2-1 MMA, 11-1-1 UFC) facing off with undefeated challenger and Olympic gold-medal wrestler Henry Cejudo (10-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC).

In the series’ second episode, Jones gets a massage before heading to Bristol, Conn., for a day of interviews at ESPN headquarters; Saint Preux, a University of Tennessee football alum, visits his alma mater for the spring game; Johnson watches UFC on FOX 19 at home and helps out around the house; and Cejudo helps corner a teammate who has his sights set on making it to the UFC.

Check out the full episode above.
