'UFC 209 Embedded,' No. 1: Stephen Thompson caves in to pizza — just one slice

The UFC is back in Las Vegas this weekend for a big UFC 209, and the promotion has rolled out its “Embedded” treatment for a preview of Saturday’s pay-per-view event at T-Mobile Arena.

UFC 209 is headlined by a rematch between welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and Stephen Thompson as they look to settle the score following their majority draw outcome from last November.

In the co-main event, Khabib Nurmagodemov and Tony Ferguson will do battle for the interim lightweight championship and, presumably, the right to unify against champion Conor McGregor.

In this first episode of “Embedded,” a pack of fans surprise Nurmagomedov after training in which the challenger promises them he will be the UFC’s first Muslim champion. Meanwhile, Ferguson trains in Southern California and expounds on the benefits of an ice bath. Thompson pushes his cardio one final time before giving in to the temptation of pizza, and Woodley gets a chance to support his sons during a state wrestling tournament.

Check out the full episode above.
