'UFC 218 Embedded,' No. 2: Francis Ngannou and Anderson Silva meet

The UFC visits Detroit this week, and the promotion has rolled out its “Embedded” treatment for a preview of Saturday’s UFC 218 event.

UFC 218 takes place at Little Caesars Arena. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

In the headliner, featherweight hamp Max Holloway (18-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC) puts his belt on the line against the man from which he took it, Jose Aldo (26-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC).

In the co-main event, a pair of dangerous heavyweights collide in hopes of gaining a title shot, with Francis Ngannou (10-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) vs. Alistair Overeem (43-15 MMA, 8-4 UFC).

In the second episode of “Embedded,” Aldo continues training in Rio. Holloway shops for a cold-weather jacket in Detroit and bonds with his team over axe-throwing. Ngannou gets his hair cut before heading to Los Angeles, where he meets Anderson Silva for the first time. Across the country in New York, Overeem joins Jim Norton and Matt Serra in the UFC Unfiltered studio.

Check out the full episode above.
