'UFC 216 Embedded,' No. 1: Tony Ferguson hits the beach, Kevin Lee hits the gas


The UFC returns to Las Vegas this week, and the promotion has rolled out its “Embedded” treatment for a preview of Saturday’s UFC 216 event.

UFC 216, which features two title fights, takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and UFC Fight Pass.

In the headliner, Tony Ferguson (23-3 MMA, 13-1 UFC) takes on Kevin Lee (16-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) for an interim lightweight title. The winner will stay in line for a potential unification bout against champion Conor McGregor.

In the co-main event, flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson (26-2-1 MMA, 14-1-1 UFC) looks for a UFC-record 11th straight title defense when he meets challenger Ray Borg (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC). That fight was pushed back from UFC 215 in September in Edmonton due to a Borg illness on fight day.

In the first episode of “Embedded,” the four headliners and co-headliners wrap up camp, which includes Ferguson training at the beach; Lee getting a hair cut and racing a car; Johnson talking about what it will mean to break Anderson Silva’s record; and Borg doing some meal prep at home.

Check out the full episode above.
