'UFC 209 Embedded,' No. 3: Do you believe in magic?

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 the third episode of “Embedded,” Thompson checks in with New York City media, Woodley gets in some late training before heading to Vegas, Nurmagomedov does a therapy session, and Ferguson, along with other fighters, pay a visit to a magician upon check-in for the event.

Check out the full episode above.

All see:

• ‘UFC 209 Embedded,’ No. 1: Stephen Thompson caves in to pizza – just one slice
• ‘UFC 209 Embedded,’ No. 2: ‘I think this is the greatest lightweight fight ever’
