'UFC 205 Embedded,' No. 3: McGregor gets a new pimped-out ride, Woodley gets out the vote

The week finally is here. The UFC heads to New York City for the first time this week for UFC 205, and the promotion is rolling out the “Embedded” treatment for a preview of Saturday’s pay-per-view event at Madison Square Garden.

There is a trio of title fights at the top of the six-fight main card. But most of the eyes are on the headliners. Lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez (28-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC) puts his belt on the line against featherweight champ Conor McGregor (20-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC), who will attempt to become the first concurrent two-division champion in UFC history.

In the co-feature, welterweight champ Tyron Woodley (16-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) has his first title defense against Stephen Thompson (13-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC). And women’s strawweight champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) defends her title against fellow Poland native Karolina Kowalkiewicz (10-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC).

In the third episode, McGregor meets some fans, including one of New York’s finest and checks out his new ride before taking it shopping; Thompson gets packed for the trip to New York from South Carolina; Woodley makes sure to vote in St. Louis before leaving for the “Big Apple”; Alvarez goes through a media day at ESPN headquarters in Connecticut.

Check out the full episode above.
