The UFC is returning Down Under with UFC 305, and the popular “Embedded” fight week video series is here to document what’s happening behind the scenes.
UFC 305 (pay-per-view/ESPN/ESPN+) takes place Saturday at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia.
In the main event, bitter rivals will finally get their hands on each other as middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis (21-2 MMA, 7-0 UFC) makes his first title defense against former champ Israel Adesanya (24-3 MMA, 13-3 UFC). In the co-main event, former title challengers Steve Erceg (12-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) and Kai Kara-France (24-11 MMA, 7-4 UFC) meet in a critical flyweight bout.
The first 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:
