Go behind the scenes with champs Israel Adesanya and Zhang Weili as they prepare for their respective challengers, Yoel Romero and Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

UFC 248 fight week has finally arrived, and with it the UFC’s full Countdown episode for the pay-per-view event on March 7th. We’ve been hyped about this event from the moment it was announced and honestly feel like it’s got the potential to be the most exciting card of the year.

Not only does Israel Adesanya defend his middleweight strap against the beastlike Yoel Romero, but strawweight champ Zhang Weili faces the toughest challenge of her career against the greatest strawweight titleholder there ever was, Joanna Jedrzejczyk. The undercard is strong too with Neil Magny, Li Jingliang, Alex Oliveira, and Sean O’Malley amongst others.

But with such strong championship fights, there ain’t time for none of them. This UFC 248 Countdown episode is all about the belt holders and the challengers.
