'UFC 222 Embedded,' No. 7: No love lost at weigh-ins for Cat Zingano and Ketlen Vieira

The UFC returns to pay-per-view tonight, and the promotion has rolled out its “Embedded” treatment to preview UFC 222.

The event takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

In the headliner, women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg (19-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) looks to defend her title when she meets Invicta FC 135-pound champion Yana Kunitskaya (10-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC). And in the co-main event, top contenders Frankie Edgar (22-5-1 MMA, 16-5-1 UFC) and Brian Ortega (13-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) square off in a featherweight title-eliminator.

Here’s the UFC’s description of the sixth “Embedded” episode:

“On Episode 7 of UFC 222 Embedded, the mood gets serious on Thursday night: Featherweight Brian Ortega finds a place to sweat away from the rest of the card’s fighters, his opponent Frankie Edgar stays active and featherweight champion Cris Cyborg targets her goal with a soccer ball. On Friday morning, all of the fighters make weight. Foes face off one more time at the afternoon’s ceremonial weigh-ins, where women’s bantamweights Cat Zingano and Ketlen Vieira have to be separated on stage.”
