The UFC’s second pay-per-view of the year takes place Saturday with UFC 247, and the promotion’s popular “Embedded” series returns to get you ready.
UFC 247 takes place Saturday at Toyota Center in Houston. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.
In the main event, Jon Jones (25-1 MMA, 19-1 UFC) defends his UFC light heavyweight title against Dominick Reyes (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC). In the co-feature, Valentina Shevchenko (18-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC) defends her women’s flyweight title against Katlyn Chookagian (13-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC).
The second episode of “Embedded” follows the big-name stars at the top of the card. Here’s the UFC’s description:
On Episode 2 of UFC 247 Embedded, light heavyweight Dominick Reyes loads up for a travel day and gets fight inspiration from the Super Bowl. Flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko draws energy from the water at a Texas beach, then draws in the sand. Challenger Katlyn Chookagian explains the strategy behind her commuter fight camp. On the mats and in the pool, champion Jon Jones is focused and calm ahead of his title defense. UFC 247 Embedded is an all-access, behind-the-scenes video blog leading up to the two title fights taking place Saturday, February 8th on Pay-Per-View.
