UFC 258 ‘Embedded,’ No. 2: Kelvin Gastelum’s big sendoff

The UFC returns Saturday night with its second pay-per-view of the year, UFC 258, where the UFC welterweight title will be on the line.

UFC 258 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and streams on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+.

In the main event, UFC 170-pound champion Kamaru Usman (17-1 MMA, 12-0 UFC) defends his belt for a third time against former teammate Gilbert Burns (19-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC). And in the co-headliner, Maycee Barber (8-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) returns after a year-long layoff due to a knee injury to take on rising flyweight contender Alexa Grasso (12-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC).

The second episode of “Embedded” follows the two headliners, as well as big-name star Kelvin Gasatelum (16-6 MMA, 10-6 UFC), who faces Ian Heinisch (14-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) at the event. Here’s the UFC’s description from YouTube:

Champ Kamaru Usman watches fights at Justin Gaethje’s home. Title challenger Gilbert Burns takes in his kids’ wrestling class. Ian Heinisch stays healthy with PT; his opponent Kelvin Gastelum gets a supportive sendoff from his home gym.
