Filed under: News , UFC , Videos The UFC is back in Las Vegas this weekend for a big UFC 209 event, and the promotion has rolled out its “Embedded” treatment for a preview of Saturday’s pay-per-view event at T-Mobile Arena. UFC 209 is headlined by a rematch between welterweight champion Tyron Woodley (16-3-1 MMA, 6-2-1 UFC) and Stephen Thompson (13-1-1 MMA, 8-1-1 UFC) as they look to settle the score following their majority draw in November. In the co-main event, Khabib Nurmagodemov (24-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) and Tony Ferguson (22-3 MMA, 12-1 UFC) battle for an interim lightweight title and, presumably, the right to unify against champion Conor McGregor. In the fifth episode of “Embedded,” Woodley cuts weight by drilling with Din Thomas, then hits the Ultimate Media Day – where he faced off with Thompson, and also faced off with UFC President Dana White for a selfie video in the wake of White calling him a “drama queen.” Nurmagomedov and Ferguson get a little heated when they get nose to nose . And behind the scenes, Georges St-Pierre makes an appearance to strap on some UFC gloves in advance of the news conference about his comeback at middleweight
