The UFC returns "Down Under" for UFC 312, its second pay-per-view of the year, and the popular "Embedded" fight week video series is here to document what's happening behind the scenes.
UFC 312 (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN2, ESPN+) takes place Saturday (Sunday locally) at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.
The main event features a rematch between middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis (22-2 MMA, 8-0 UFC) and Sean Strickland (29-6 MMA, 16-6 UFC) roughly a year after Du Plessis claimed the 185-pound title with a split decision win over Strickland. And in the co-main event, strawweight champion Zhang Weili (25-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) puts her title on the line against Tatiana Suarez (11-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC).
The sixth 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:
