'UFC 208 Embedded,' No 2: Coffee talk with Holly Holm, Anderson Silva meets a U.S. border agent

The UFC returns to New York this week for UFC 208, and the organization has rolled out the “Embedded” treatment for a preview of Saturday’s pay-per-view event at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

UFC 208 features the introduction of a new weight class for the promotion. Former women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm (10-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) takes on Germaine de Randamie (7-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC) for the inaugural women’s featherweight title in the main event.

Additionally, legendary former middleweight champion Anderson Silva (33-8 MMA, 16-4 UFC) fights in New York for the first time when he meets Derek Brunson (16-4 MMA, 7-2 UFC) in the co-feature. Plus, Ronaldo Souza (23-4 MMA, 6-1 UFC) takes on Tim Boetsch (20-10 MMA, 11-9 UFC) in another big middleweight battle.

In the second episode, Souza heads to the States with teammate Silva, who makes the day of a U.S. customs official. Holm enjoys some rare downtime having coffee with her mom. De Randamie wraps up her training in the Netherlands, then takes in a soccer game. And Brunson finishes up his training in North Carolina ahead of his trip to New York.

Check out the full episode above.
