Embedded! Gastelum Fulfills Dream, Shakes Hands With ‘The Rock’

We are just hours away from UFC 244 popping off later tonight (Sat., Nov. 2, 2019) live on ESPN+ PPV from inside Madison Square Garden in New York City, as Jorge Masvidal puts his hot streak on the line against Nate Diaz in what is being called a “Baddest Motherf—ker” title fight.

From the official YouTube description:

On Episode 6 of UFC 244 Embedded, after a wild week of lead-up, official weigh-ins are blissfully uneventful as everyone hits their mark. Later that day, opponents face off one final time at Madison Square Garden at the ceremonial weigh-in, where none other than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson oversees the main event staredown. UFC 244 Embedded is an all-access, behind-the-scenes video blog leading up to the BMF title belt at the UFC’s 500th event on Saturday, November 2nd on Pay-Per-View.

All that’s left to do is fight, as fans dodged a huge USADA bullet last week to even get to this point.
