The UFC returns this week with UFC 212, and the promotion has rolled out its “Embedded” treatment for a preview of Saturday’s pay-per-view event.
UFC 212 takes place at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, and the main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass
In the main event, featherweight champion Jose Aldo (26-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) meets interim champ Max Holloway (17-3 MMA, 13-3 UFC) in a title-unification bout. Additionally, former strawweight title challengers and top contenders Claudia Gadelha (14-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) and Karolina Kowalkiewicz (10-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) meet in the co-headliner.
In the first episode of “Embedded,” Kowalkiewicz wraps up camp with a focus on her wrestling – while also enjoying her latest international trip. Aldo shows just how brutal his training camp has been – “This practice is inhumane,” he says (according to a translation by MMAjunkie’s Fernanda Prates) – in the lead-up to UFC 212. Holloway arrives in Brazil, where he’s got a fondness for the intense fans and some secret water. Additionally, Gadelha wraps up camp in New Mexico, where her coaches say she’s as ready as ever.
Check out the full episode above.
