The UFC returns to pay-per-view Saturday with UFC 252, and the promotion’s popular “Embedded” series is back to help build the excitement ahead of the action.

UFC 252 takes place Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN/ESPN+.

In the main event, a highly anticipated trilogy takes place. Heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic will defend his title against former heavyweight and light heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier to settle their 1-1 tie. And in the co-headliner, rising prospect Sean O’Malley takes on Marlon Vera in a key bantamweight showdown.

The fifth episode of “Embedded” follows the fighters as fight night draws near. Below is the UFC’s description:

Daniel Cormier tucks into an infrared sauna and gets a special delivery. Heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Jairzinho Rozenstruik attend virtual media day. Opponents Chito Vera and Sean O’Malley cross paths in the gym.
