"Embedded is the single greatest piece the UFC has ever produced, by the way. It's better... If you don't watch Embedded, go over to Fight Pass and check out."

UFC Embedded is a vlog series that follows UFC fighters during the week leading up to a pay-per-view event. In the videos, fighters' preparations and their interactions with the media, the public, friends and family are captured for the MMA fans to see.

Several fun and interesting interactions between fighters (and sometimes opponents) can be seen in the Embedded videos.


Chael Sonnen believes Max Holloway was the rightful victor of the first two fights against Alexander Volkanovski

According to Chael Sonnen, Max Holloway deserved to get his hands raised in the first two fights against Alexander Volkanovski. The official results of both fights were announced in Volkanovski's favor.

Sonnen compared the featherweight rivalry to Colby Covington vs. Kamaru Usman and Israel Adesanya vs. Robert Whittaker. 'The Bad Guy' said that Covington and Whittaker did not get a third shot at the title after losing two fights to their respective rivals.

'The American Gangster' then argued that Holloway was getting a third fight against Volkanovski despite two losses due to the controversy surrounding the results of the previous encounters:

"I think he [Volkanovski] lost both fights to Max... Even though that's not being talked about, it's the whole reason we're seeing part three. Colby Covington is the number one ranked guy in the world without question and cannot get a world title fight. Well, because he's already done it twice. Robert Whittaker is the number one contender for sure... He can't get a title fight. Well, because he's already had it twice. That rule is being broken for Max and it's for the reason I just stated."
