UFC 258 ‘Embedded,’ No. 6: ‘Superhero strong’

The UFC returns Saturday night with its second pay-per-view of the year, UFC 258, where the UFC welterweight title will be on the line.

UFC 258 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and streams on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+.

In the main event, UFC 170-pound champion Kamaru Usman (17-1 MMA, 12-0 UFC) defends his belt for a third time against former teammate Gilbert Burns (19-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC). And in the co-headliner, Maycee Barber (8-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) returns after a year-long layoff due to a knee injury to take on rising flyweight contender Alexa Grasso (12-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC).

The sixth episode of “Embedded” follows all the big stars who will compete at UFC 258. Here’s the UFC’s description from YouTube:

Headliners Gilbert Burns and champion Kamaru Usman finish their camps at the UFC Performance Institute. Kelvin Gastelum and opponent Ian Heinisch stay sharp in their hotel training areas. On Friday, everyone hits their marks at weigh-in, where athletes step on scale the face off.
