The UFC’s return to Las Vegas is set for Saturday with UFC 235, and the promotion’s popular “Embedded” series returns to get you ready.
UFC 235 takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and UFC Fight Pass.
In the main event, light heavyweight champion Jon Jones (23-1 MMA, 17-1 UFC) takes on challenger Anthony Smith (31-13 MMA, 7-3 UFC), who is a massive underdog. The co-main event features welterweight champion Tyron Woodley (19-3-1 MMA, 9-2-1 UFC) with his title on the line against Kamaru Usman (14-1 MMA, 9-0 UFC). In addition, former Bellator and ONE champion Ben Askren (18-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) makes highly anticipated UFC debut against ex-welterweight champ Robbie Lawler (28-12 MMA, 13-6 UFC).
The first episode of “UFC 235 Embedded” previews the two title fights. Here’s the UFC’s description:
