Check out the third-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 third 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 things off in Albuquerque at a nail salon. Holly Holm likes pink. She’s happy to be getting another title shot. Over in Vegas at the PI, Luke Rockhold’s dog is popular. Thiago Santos is working out. His coach talks about feeling every one of his strikes when he’s holding mitts.
Jorge Masvidal shows up with hugs for Amanda Nunes and Nina Ansaroff. He tackles Conan Silveira, then throws a bunch of spinning back kicks against a wall. Ben Askren is in the sauna, then in the pool. He talks about being in the UFC and finally getting some recognition now, and wants a title shot against “Marty” – Kamaru Usman.
Nunes is a terrible singer. But she’s having fun while training. Jon Jones and Holm show up in Vegas together. There’s another dog at the airport! So many dogs in this episode!
Nunes and Ansaroff are watching the women’s world cup in their room. Nunes does some media at the same time. They’re big USWNT fans. Luke Rockhold makes arrangements with a UFC employee for his rides around Vegas. He thinks his new weight division will be a super easy cut.
Jones and Holm are goofing around again. Masvidal says he has nothing to prove, he just likes to compete. Especially against a ‘f—king clown’ like Ben Askren. He then takes photos with fans in the casino.
And that’s it! UFC 239 goes down this Saturday night in Vegas.
