The UFC returns to Madison Square Garden in New York for UFC 295. The anticipated event promises exciting matchups and intense action. To provide fans with an exclusive look into the behind-the-scenes preparations, the popular “Embedded” fight week video series is back.
UFC 295 will take place on Saturday, with the main card airing on pay-per-view after preliminary fights on ESPNews and early prelims on ESPN+.
The main event features former light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka and ex-middleweight champion Alex Pereira competing for the vacant 205-pound title. Pereira aims to become the UFC’s newest two-division titleholder.
The co-feature bout will decide the interim heavyweight title between Sergei Pavlovich and Tom Aspinall. This matchup was scheduled after the original headliner, Jon Jones, suffered an injury while training for his fight against Stipe Miocic.
The first episode of “Embedded” provides a glimpse into the lives of the featured fighters as they prepare for fight week. The UFC’s description of the episode on YouTube is as follows:
Jiri Prochazka returns to action. Alex Pereira enjoys a new division. Mackenzie Dern trains at home. Tom Aspinall levels up, and opponent Sergei Pavlovich reaches a goal.
