UFC 279 ‘Embedded’ Videos! Officials Save Gutted PPV Card

We are just hours away from UFC 279 later tonight (Sat., Sept. 10, 2022) live on ESPN+ pay-per-view (PPV) from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the latest collection of “Embedded” videos have been released.

UFC 279 will be headlined by an unlikely welterweight matchup between Nate Diaz and Tony Ferguson. The pairing came together late Friday after Khamzat Chimaev badly missed weight for his main event clash with Diaz. Ferguson was asked to fill in and ultimately yanked from his matchup with Li Jingliang, who will now fight Daniel Rodriguez. Rodriguez’s originally opponent, Kevin Holland, will now fight Chimaev in the co-main event.
