The UFC is back in Montreal for the first time in 10 years for UFC 315, its fifth pay-per-view of the calendar year, and the popular “Embedded” fight week video series is here to document what’s happening behind the scenes.
UFC 315 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) takes place Saturday at Bell Centre in Montreal.
In the headliner, welterweight champion Belal Muhammad (24-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) puts his title on the line for the first time when he takes on challenger Jack Della Maddalena (17-2 MMA, 7-0 UFC). In the co-feature, two-time women’s flyweight champ Valentina Shevchenko (24-4-1 MMA, 13-3-1 UFC) puts the belt up against Manon Fiorot (12-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC), who is favored in the fight as the challenger.
The third 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:
