Embedded! ‘He’s One Of Those Unbreakables’

Despite a major hiccup Friday night that saw Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza test positive for coronavirus and removed from his “Prelims” bout with Uriah Hall, the show will still go on later tonight (Sat., May 9, 2020) at UFC 249 live on ESPN+ pay-per-view (PPV) from inside VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.

In preparation for UFC’s return to the spotlight this weekend in Jacksonville, the promotion has released the last episode of UFC 249 “Embedded,” which can be seen in the above video player. This time around, the action focuses on fighters and teams preparing for final weight cuts and the new standard for UFC staredowns. Some fighters, such as Cejudo and Michelle Waterson, search for some comforting normalcy among the chaos.

From the official YouTube description:

Michelle Waterson uses technology to keep in touch with her family. Henry Cejudo takes in a sunset. Justin Gaethje works through his weight cut, Dominick Cruz’ team tempts him with pizza. Official weigh-ins go down and two title fights are official.

All that’s left to do now is fight. And with a stacked card top to bottom fight fans should be ecstatic that UFC 249 is right around the corner.
