UFC 275 ‘Embedded,’ No. 5: ‘I’m ready for five rounds, but I will do everything to finish it sooner’

The UFC heads to Singapore on Saturday for its sixth pay-per-view of the year, which means the “Embedded” fight-week video series is back to document what’s happening behind the scenes.

UFC 275 takes place at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+.

UFC 275 features a title-fight doubleheader. In the main event, Glover Teixeira (33-7 MMA, 16-5 UFC) meets Jiri Prochazka (28-3-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC). The co-main event will see women’s flyeight champ Valentina Shevchenko (22-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC) meet contender Taila Santos (19-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC).

Additionally, a pair of former strawweight title holders run it back as Joanna Jedrzejczyk (16-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) takes on Zhang Weili (21-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) in a rematch of their 2020 FOTY.

The fifth episode of “Embedded” follows the featured fighters while they get ready for fight week. Here is the UFC’s description of the episode from YouTube:

Jiri Prochazka unwinds with a workout. Weili Zhang enjoys seeing Joanna Jedrzejczyk. Jack Della Maddalena plans a finish. Champ Valentina Shevchenko talks to the commentary team. Taila Santos trains; champ Glover Teixeira weighs Mike Bisping. UFC 275 is on Saturday, June 11.
