The UFC returns with its fifth pay-per-view of 2024, which means the popular “Embedded” fight week video series is here to document what’s happening behind the scenes. UFC 301 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+ ) takes place Saturday at Rio Arena in Rio de Janeiro. In the main event, Brazilian flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja (27-5 MMA, 11-3 UFC) puts his title on the line against Steve Erceg (12-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC). And in the co-main event, former featherweight champion Jose Aldo (31-8 MMA, 13-7 UFC) ends his retirement for one more fight in Rio against Jonathan Martinez (19-4 MMA, 10-3 UFC). The second 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: The stars of UFC 301 prepare: champ Alexandre Pantoja, Steve Erceg, Jonathan Martinez, Jose Aldo, and Caio Borralho
