'UFC 209 Embedded,' No. 2: 'I think this is the greatest lightweight fight ever'

The UFC is back in Las Vegas this weekend for a big UFC 209 event, 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 (16-3-1 MMA, 6-2-1 UFC) and Stephen Thompson (13-1-1 MMA, 8-1-1 UFC) as they look to settle the score following their majority draw in November.

In the co-main event, Khabib Nurmagodemov (24-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) and Tony Ferguson (22-3 MMA, 12-1 UFC) battle for an interim lightweight title and, presumably, the right to unify against champion Conor McGregor.

In this second episode of “Embedded,” Nurmagodemov gets some motivation (and laughs) from his American Kickboxing Academy teammates, including champ Daniel Cormier, as he prepares for the “greatest lightweight fight ever.” Additionally, Ferguson hits Sin City for a late-night run, Thompson enjoys some disc golf, and Woodley does the media rounds.

Check out the full episode above.
