UFC 293 ‘Embedded,’ No. 4: Sean Strickland vs. ‘influencer’

The UFC is back with its 11th pay-per-view of the year, which means the popular “Embedded” fight-week video series is here to document what’s happening behind the scenes.

UFC 293 takes place Saturday at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNews/ESPN+ and early prelims on ESPN+.

In the main event, Israel Adesanya (24-2 MMA, 13-2 UFC) attempts to make the first defense of his second middleweight title reign against Sean Strickland (27-5 MMA, 14-5 UFC). And in the co-headliner, Tai Tuivasa (15-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC) and Alexander Volkov (36-10 MMA, 10-4 UFC) meet in a heavyweight battle of big men.

The fourth episode of “Embedded” follows the featured fighters during fight week. Here is the UFC’s description of the episode from YouTube:

Anzac fighters attend a traditional welcome ceremony. Alexander Volkov goes for speed. Sean Strickland and champ Israel Adesanya field questions. Felipe Dos Santos embraces the moment. Fans flock to open workouts.
