The UFC returns to pay-per-view Saturday with UFC 265, which means the popular “Embedded” fight week series is back, as well.
UFC 265 takes place at Toyota Center in Houston. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+.
The main event features a bout that will decide a new interim UFC heavyweight champion. [autotag]Derrick Lewis[/autotag] (25-7 MMA, 16-5 UFC) and [autotag]Ciryl Gane[/autotag] (9-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) are set to clash to see who will unify with Francis Ngannou.
The UFC 265 co-main event features a high-stakes bantamweight matchup with former featherweight champion Jose Aldo (29-7 MMA, 11-6 UFC) continuing his run in the weight class against the always tough Pedro Munhoz (19-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC).
The third episode of “Embedded” follows the featured competitors during fight week. Here’s the description from YouTube:
Ciryl Gane shops for 90s style. Vicente Luque trains with friend Gilbert Burns. Jose Aldo cuts weight to classic songs. Derrick Lewis gets PT; Pedro Munhoz heads to the airport. Main event heavyweights face off across the hotel atrium.
