On Episode 1 of UFC 200 Promotional Tour Embedded, a major press conference tees up big things to come, including an interim featherweight title bout between Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar and a women’s bantamweight title fight between champion Miesha Tate and challenger Amanda Nunes. A day later, former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones wins the interim title, positioning him to face champion Daniel Cormier once “DC” has recovered from injury. Back home in New Jersey, Edgar focuses on staying limber; meanwhile Jose Aldo dons a gi for a mat session in New York City. On the opposite coast, heavyweights Cain Velasquez and Travis Browne do interviews in LA to promote their UFC 200 bout, and Browne gets an uplifting phone call from his superstar girlfriend Ronda Rousey. As more stars land in the Big Apple, Jones reflects on his homecoming, Cormier gets psyched up, Nunes plays tourist and Tate introduces her canine traveling companion. UFC Embedded is an all-access, behind-the-scenes video blog following the stars of July’s UFC 200 on their week-long media tour. Tickets for UFC 200 are on sale Friday, April 29 at 10 am PT.
