The UFC returns for its final pay-per-view of 2021 on Saturday with UFC 269 , which means the fight week video series “Embedded” is back to document the fighters behind the scenes. UFC 269 takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN2 and early prelims on ESPN+. The top of the bill features two title fights. In the main event, lightweight champion Charles Oliveira (31-8 MMA, 19-8 UFC) looks to defend his title for the first time against former interim champ Dustin Poirier (28-6 MMA, 20-5 UFC). In the co-headliner, two-division champion Amanda Nunes (21-4 MMA, 14-1 UFC) will defend her bantamweight title against a fresh opponent, a very eager Julianna Pena (10-4 MMA, 6-2 UFC).
