The UFC returns to the fight capital of the world for UFC 250 this Saturday, and the promotion’s popular “Embedded” series is back to help build the excitement ahead of the action.
UFC 250 takes place Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.
In the main event, UFC dual champion Amanda Nunes (19-4 MMA, 12-1 UFC) puts her featherweight title on the line for the first time when she takes on former Invicta FC champ, Felicia Spencer (8-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC). In the co-main event, skidding bantamweights look to rebound, as Raphael Assuncao (27-7 MMA, 11-4 UFC) faces former UFC bantamweight champ Cody Garbrandt (11-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC), who’s coming off a layoff of more than a year.
The fifth episode of “Embedded” follows the big-name stars at the top of the card as they arrive in Las Vegas. Here’s the UFC’s description:
Cardio, baths and the Vegas sun help with weight cuts. Weigh-ins go smoothly for Cody Garbrandt, Raphael Assuncao, Aljamain Sterling, Cory Sandhagen, Eddie Wineland and Sean O’Malley, and the title fight between Felicia Spencer and Amanda Nunes is on.
