Filed under: News , UFC , Videos For the first time, the UFC’s online “Embedded” series is going behind the scenes of a card not airing on pay-per-view with next week’s UFC Fight Night 80. The online series previews the card, which takes place Thursday at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. The entire event streams on UFC Fight Pass. In the main event, highly touted strawweight prospect Paige VanZant (6-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) takes on “TUF” veteran Rose Namajunas (3-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC). Also on the card, up-and-coming lightweight prospect Sage Northcutt (6-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC), fresh off a stunning first-round TKO in his UFC debut as a 19-year-old, takes on Cody Pfister (12-4-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC). The youth of VanZant and Northcutt, along with the accolades being thrown their way early in their careers, have helped dub UFC Fight Night 80 the “Paige and Sage” card.
