‘UFC 244 Embedded,’ No. 4: Fight week heats up

The UFC’s 11th pay-per-view of the year takes place Saturday with UFC 244, and the promotion’s popular “Embedded” series returns to get you ready.

UFC 244 takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York. The main card airs on pay-per-view followed by prelims on ESPN2, ESPN+ and UFC Fight Pass.

In the main event, Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz will throw down in a welterweight clash for the “BMF” title belt that is expected to be wrapped around the winner’s waist by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. And in the co-main event, former welterweight title challenger Darren Till makes his middleweight debut in a tough matchup with recent interim title challenger Kelvin Gastelum.

The fourth episode of “Embedded” follows Gastelum, Masvidal and Diaz. Here’s the UFC’s description:

On Episode 4 of UFC 244 Embedded, welterweight Stephen “Wonderboy Thompson” trains with his coach and father; middleweight Kelvin Gastelum trains at the facility belonging to Renzo Gracie, whose grandfather created BJJ. Fans rally behind both coasts at the open workouts, where headliners Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz entertain with words. UFC 244 Embedded is an all-access, behind-the-scenes video blog leading up to the BMF title belt at the UFC’s 500th event on Saturday, November 2nd on Pay-Per-View.
