Check out the second episode of Embedded for UFC 247.
UFC 247 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 second episode for this weekend’s big show in Houston, and it serves as a brief introduction to the fighters at the top of the card.
We start off with light heavyweight title challenger Dominick Reyes, who is on his way to Houston. We hear from his mom, about how the whole family is competitive. Out on the East Beach, Valentina Shevchenko is hanging out and recovering. Her sister Antonina is there. She wants the energy of the water. She draws a snow leopard in the sand. Valentina then does a little shopping.
Up in Houston, Reyes is going to watch the Super Bowl in a pub. He’s got the Niners. He relates the actions of the players to his fight against Jon Jones. Spoiler – the Niners lost.
Over in Long Island, we see Katlyn Chookagian’s house. Her cute little snorty dog is being put in his crate. She takes the train into Renzo’s in the city. She could hit gyms in her hood, but she wants to go to the best. John Danaher is there. She talks about vibes a lot.
We’re in Albuquerque now, with Jonny Bones. He says that he’s a bit nervous, but it’s just what he does. He compares himself to a soldier. He thinks Reyes’ confidence is an asset for him, and his power. Jones believes his experience will help him prevail. We head over to JacsonWink for a late-night session. He works BJJ with Greg Jackson watching over him. He believes Jon’s ability to stay calm in the fire will make the difference.
And that’s it! UFC 247 goes down this Saturday in Houston.
