‘UFC 240 Embedded,’ No. 3: Max Holloway (sort of) visits the Stanley Cup

The UFC’s seventh pay-per-view of the year takes place Saturday with UFC 240, and the promotion’s popular “Embedded” series returns to get you ready.

UFC 240 takes place Saturday at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.

In the third episode of “Embedded,” UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway, who got into Edmonton before the rest of the card’s featured fighters, took a stroll around downtown  and took a picture with an oversized version of a trophy with which Edmontonians of a certain age are very familiar, hockey’s Stanley Cup.

Here’s the UFC’s description:

On Episode 3 of UFC 240 Embedded, featherweight champion Max Holloway sight-sees in Edmonton, then signs autographs with former champion Cris Cyborg. After a final training session with her team, including young students, Felicia Spencer finds herself on the same connecting flight as former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar. UFC 240 Embedded is an all-access, behind-the-scenes video blog leading up to the featherweight title fight taking place Saturday, July 27 on Pay-Per-View.
