UFC 213 ‘Embedded’ video blog (Ep. 5): Amanda Nunes makes final weight cut, looks like ‘Michael Jackson in a space suit’

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to the pay-per-view (PPV) market this Saturday night (July 8, 2017) with UFC 213: “Nunes vs. Shevchenko 2,” taking place inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. In preparation for the action, the promotion has released the latest and greatest episode of “Embedded.”

From the official YouTube description:

On Episode 5 of UFC 213 Embedded, the athletes use a variety of methods to make weight. Bantamweight title challenger Valentina Shevchenko stays warm while training, while reigning champion Amanda Nunes turns her hotel room into a walk-in sauna and dance party. Interim middleweight title challenger Robert Whittaker kicks off a makeshift soccer game in the gym to keep himself moving. Old-school wrestler Yoel Romero reaches the middleweight limit via “bullets and puddles.” On Friday, the hard work proves worth it when the fighters hit their numbers at the official weigh-in, then face off against one another later for the fans at Park Theater. UFC 213 Embedded is an all-access, behind-the-scenes video blog leading up to the two title fights at UFC 213: Nunes vs. Shevchenko 2 taking place Saturday, July 8 on Pay-Per-View.
