After a lengthy break, the UFC is back on pay-per-view, and the promotion has rolled out its “Embedded” treatment for a preview of Saturday’s UFC 215 event.
FC 215, which features two title fights, takes place Saturday at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
The original main event between flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson (26-2-1 MMA, 14-1-1 UFC) challenger Ray Borg (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) was scratched hours before weigh-ins. In the new headliner, women’s bantamweight champ Amanda Nunes (14-4 MMA, 7-1 UFC) rematches Valentina Shevchenko (14-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC).
In the fourth episode of “Embedded,” Shevchenko discusses how confident she is heading into her title rematch, loves the results of an outdoor glam photo shoot and gets down to her jam once it plays at the open workouts. Nunes keeps her mind off fighting just a little bit by playing some FIFA and continues to focus on a healthy weight-cut. Both fighters make weight officially in the morning and face off one final time at the ceremonial weigh-ins in the evening.
Check out the full episode above.
