'UFC 228 Embedded,' No. 5: Media day and bowling with Tatiana Suarez

The UFC is on back in Texas this week for a pay-per-view featuring two title fights. Once again, the promotion has rolled out its “Embedded” treatment to preview UFC 228.

The event takes place Saturday at American Airlines Arena in Dallas and airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and UFC Fight Pass.

In the main event, welterweight champion Tyron Woodley (18-3-1 MMA, 8-2-1 UFC) looks for his fourth title defense against Darren Till (17-0-1 MMA, 5-0-1 UFC). And in the co-main event, women’s flyweight champion Nicco Montano (4-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) returns for her first title defense against Valentina Shevchenko (15-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC).

Here’s the UFC’s description of the fourth “Embedded” episode:

On Episode 5 of UFC 228 Embedded, opponents square off at media day, including welterweight champion Tyron Woodley vs. Darren Till and strawweight Carla Esparza vs. Tatiana Suarez. Featherweight Zabit Magomedsharipov jogs away his final pounds, while opponent Brandon Davis loses his in a pickup basketball game with bantamweight John Dodson. Strawweight Karolina Kowalkiewicz trains through her weight cut and opponent Jessica Andrade spends hers in the pool. Bantamweight Aljamain Sterling checks his numbers at the hotel, as Suarez passes time bowling. UFC 228 Embedded is an all-access, behind-the-scenes video blog leading up to the welterweight world championship bout taking place Saturday, September 8th on Pay-Per-View.
