UFC 303 'Embedded,' No. 6: UFC goes Blue (Man Group) for International Fight Week

It won’t be Conor McGregor’s comeback fight as originally planned, but the UFC is back in Las Vegas with UFC 303, which means the popular “Embedded” fight week video series is here to document what’s happening behind the scenes.

UFC 303 (pay-per-view/ESPN/ESPN+) takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena and is headlined by a light heavyweight title rematch between champion Alex Pereira (10-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) and former champ Jiri Prochazka (30-4-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC). In the co-main event, former featherweight title challenger Brian Ortega (16-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) takes on rising contender Diego Lopes (24-6 MMA, 3-1 UFC).

The sixth episode of “Embedded” follows the featured fighters while they get ready for fight week. Here is the UFC’s description of the episode from YouTube:

Gillian Robertson and Din Thomas relax with a pedicure, Diego Lopes and Alex Pereira finalize their weight cuts, and Pereira gets a hand from the Blue Man Group as UFC 303 stars prepare for ceremonial weigh-ins before their June 29 clash in the Octagon.
