The UFC’s first pay-per-view of the year takes place Saturday with UFC 246, and the promotion’s popular “Embedded” series returns to get you ready.
UFC 246 takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.
In the main event, former simultaneous featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor (21-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC) returns after a 15-month absence to take on Donald Cerrone (36-13 MMA, 23-10 UFC) in a welterweight bout. In the co-feature, former women’s bantamweight champ Holly Holm (12-5 MMA, 5-5 UFC) meets Raquel Pennington (10-7 MMA, 7-4 UFC).
The sixth episode of “Embedded” follows the big-name stars at the top of the card as they arrive in Las Vegas. Here’s the UFC’s description:
On Episode 6 of UFC 246 Embedded, welterweight headliner Donald Cerrone relaxes in the comfort of making an easy weight cut to 170 lbs. Anthony “Showtime” Pettis discusses how his technique of handling his own weight cut helps him. Conor McGregor shows up to the UFC 246: Ceremonial weigh-ins with his son and crowds roar as the headliners position for a final flex-and-faceoff and deliver their thoughts in anticipation for the fight. UFC 246 Embedded is an all-access, behind-the-scenes video blog leading up to the three title fights taking place Saturday January 18.
