'UFC 214 Embedded,' No. 5: News conference barbs and dueling autograph battles

The UFC keeps on trucking for the fourth weekend in a row, and the promotion has rolled out its “Embedded” treatment for a preview of Saturday’s UFC 214 event.

UFC 214, which features three title fights, takes place at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FXX and UFC Fight Pass.

In the main event, light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier (19-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) defends his belt against Jon Jones (22-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC) in perhaps the most anticipated rematch in UFC history. The co-headliner features welterweight champion Tyron Woodley (17-3-1 MMA, 7-2-1 UFC) taking on Demian Maia (25-6 MMA, 19-6 UFC). Also, Cristiane Justino (17-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) and Tonya Evinger (19-5 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will square off for the vacant women’s featherweight belt.

In the fifth episode of “Embedded,” we go inside Wednesday’s news conference, where Cormier and Jones exchanged plenty of harsh words. At the open workouts the next day, Jones signed autographs and posed for pictures, but didn’t do a workout. Cormier, though, promised the fans he’d not only do a workout, but sign and pose for pictures, too.
