'UFC 219 Embedded,' No. 2: Khabib Nurmagomedov makes this guy's heart race

The UFC closes out its 2017 campaign on Saturday, and the promotion has rolled out its “Embedded” treatment for a preview of Saturday’s UFC 219 event.

UFC 219 takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with a pay-per-view main card following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

In the headliner, women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg (18-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) takes on former titleholder Holly Holm (11-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC), and in the co-headliner, Edson Barboza (19-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC) meets fellow lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov (24-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC).

In the second episode of “Embedded,” Nurmagomedov runs sprints at a public park in San Jose and meets with a fan. Barboza brings his wife and son to the gym for motivation. Holm faces the final day of tough training. Cyborg embraces CrossFit to prepare. Former champion Carla Esparza (12-4 MMA, 3-2 UFC) reflects on opponent Cynthia Calvillo (6-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) coming out of nowhere to challenge her. Calvillo makes a few bold claims as she continues her training.
