'UFC 197 Embedded,' No. 3: Media obligations galore, and Jon Jones goes swimming

It’s fight week in Las Vegas, and the UFC is rolling out the “Embedded” treatment for a preview of Saturday’s big UFC 197 event.

The online series previews the card, which takes place at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.

In the main event, Jon Jones (21-1 MMA, 15-1 UFC) returns to the octagon for the first time since a suspension for his involvement in a hit-and-run incident this past April. The former light heavyweight champion faces Ovince Saint Preux (19-7 MMA, 7-2 UFC), who steps in for an injured Daniel Cormier. The bout is for the interim belt. The co-main event sees Demetrious Johnson (23-2-1 MMA, 11-1-1 UFC) facing off with undefeated challenger and Olympic gold-medal wrestler Henry Cejudo (10-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC).

In the series’ third episode, the fighters on the main card go through media obligations around North America before they head to Las Vegas, and Jones, in Connecticut after appearances at ESPN headquarters, gets in some cardio work in the pool.

Check out the full episode above.
