Check out the first episode of Embedded for UFC 239.

UFC 239 is almost here, and as usual, Embedded is here as well. The show that gives you an inside look at the marquee contestants on PPVs has issued the first episode for this weekend’s big show in the Vegas, and it serves as a brief introduction to the fighters at the top of the card.

We start off with Jon Jones, who doesn’t foresee a hard weight cut a week out. He thinks he can be a 20-time world champion. Thiago Santos is honored to be fighting on one of the biggest cards of the year. He’s doing the same things he always does, and isn’t focused on the opponent or that it’s a title fight. He then gets a leg massage.

Amanda Nunes and Nina Ansaroff are off to the UFC PI to get a workout in. Over at Santos’ place, everyone is feasting on a big dinner. They’re watching fights, and singing along to some Portuguese guitar playing.

Back in New Mexico, Jones is out at an arena to watch his friend play football. He’s not a fan of all of his coaches eating pizza a week out of the fight, but he’s just playing.

Nunes and Ansaroff are watching Junior dos Santos’ fight against Francis Ngannou last weekend. They’re yelling at the TV, and aren’t happy with the result.

And that’s it! UFC 239 goes down in Vegas on Saturday night.
