One of the most anticipated fight weeks in UFC history has arrived with UFC 300, and the popular fight week video series “Embedded” is here to document what’s happening behind the scenes.
UFC 300 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
In the main attraction, light heavyweight champion Alexandre Pereira (9-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) puts the belt on the line for the first time against the former champion Jamahal Hill (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC), who vacated the title six months after winning it due to injury.
In the co-feature, women’s strawweight champion Zhang Weili (24-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) faces Yan Xiao Nan (15-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC). The fight is the first all-Chinese title fight in UFC history.
The “BMF” belt is at stake between the current holder Justin Gaethje (25-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) and former longtime featherweight champion Max Holloway (25-7 MMA, 21-7 UFC), who moves up to lightweight for the fight.
Additionally, UFC 300 features the promotional debut of two-time Olympic champion and two-time PFL champion Kayla Harrison (16-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) against former women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm (15-6 MMA, 8-6 UFC) and five other former UFC champions on what is arguably the most stacked card in company history.
The fourth episode of “Embedded” follows the featured fighters as they prepare for fight week. Here is the description of the UFC episode on YouTube:
Bobby Green, Charles Oliveira, Xiaonan Yan and Jamahal Hill set aside time to train. Holly Holm goes hunting for coffee. The fighter checks in at the UFC Apex and headliner Hill gets autographs – including one from opponent Alex Pereira.
