'UFC 182 Embedded,' No. 3: Jones 'is going to be up in the air and end up on his head'

In the third installment of “UFC 182 Embedded,” the fighters hit the homestretch of fight week and find unique ways to spend their time.

The online series previews Saturday’s pay-per-view event at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, where light heavyweight champion Jon Jones (20-1 MMA, 14-1 UFC) looks for his eighth consecutive title defense when he takes on undefeated Daniel Cormier (15-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC).

In the third episode, Jones visits Vegas’ Bishop Gorman High School to train with the wrestling team and offer some words of encouragement. Cormier, meanwhile, hits the UFC Training Center for some final preparations with teammate and UFC contender Luke Rockhold, who predicts Jones “is going to be up in the air and end up on his head” in their title fight.

Additionally, co-headliner Donald Cerrone (25-6 MMA, 12-3 UFC), who takes on lightweight Myles Jury (15-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC), continues his week of unusual activities by following up a recent air adventure with time in a race car.
