The UFC’s 11th pay-per-view of the year takes place Saturday with UFC 244, and the promotion’s popular “Embedded” series returns to get you ready.
UFC 244 takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York. The main card airs on pay-per-view followed by prelims on ESPN2, ESPN+ and UFC Fight Pass.
In the main event, Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz will throw down in a welterweight clash for the “BMF” title belt that is expected to be wrapped around the winner’s waist by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. And in the co-main event, former welterweight title challenger Darren Till makes his middleweight debut in a tough matchup with recent interim title challenger Kelvin Gastelum.
The sixth episode of “Embedded” follows the big-name stars at the top of the card as they negotiate the early-morning weigh-ins, then face off at the ceremonial event later in the day. Here’s the UFC’s 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.
