'UFC 208 Embedded,' No 3: What exactly is happening here?

The UFC returns to New York this week for UFC 208, and the organization has rolled out the “Embedded” treatment for a preview of Saturday’s pay-per-view event at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

UFC 208 features the introduction of a new weight class for the promotion. Former women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm (10-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) takes on Germaine de Randamie (7-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC) for the inaugural women’s featherweight title in the main event.

Additionally, legendary former middleweight champion Anderson Silva (33-8 MMA, 16-4 UFC) fights in New York for the first time when he meets Derek Brunson (16-4 MMA, 7-2 UFC) in the co-feature. Plus, Ronaldo Souza (23-4 MMA, 6-1 UFC) takes on Tim Boetsch (20-10 MMA, 11-9 UFC) in another big middleweight battle.

In the third episode, Holm and de Randamie have a chance encounter in the hall, but the exchange remains friendly. Meanwhile, Silva also remains all smiles, event as he seems to be a little bit uncomfortable during a fitting process for a mouthpiece.

Check out the full episode above.
