Here’s the UFC’s description of the fourth episode of “UFC 239 Embedded”:
On Episode 4 of UFC 239 Embedded, light heavyweight Luke Rockhold turns his suite into a workout facility. Welterweight Michael Chiesa, amused by a message from opponent Diego Sanchez, keeps his training serious while joking around with Rockhold and middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. Athletes from the top three fights – light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, challenger Thiago Santos, double champion Amanda Nunes, former bantamweight champion Holly Holm, quick-witted welterweight Ben Askren, and confident opponent Jorge Masvidal– entertain fans with their words and moves at a packed open workout session.
