The UFC is back in the "City of Brotherly Love" for the first time in more than seven years, and the popular "Embedded" fight week video series is here to document what's happening behind the scenes.
UFC 330 (Paramount+), the promotion's seventh numbered event of the calendar year, takes place Saturday at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.
In the main event, former lightweight champion Islam Makhachev (28-1 MMA, 17-1 UFC) aims to defend his welterweight title for the first time when he takes on Ian Machado Garry (17-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC). The co-main event features another title fight as strawweight champion Mackenzie Dern (16-5 MMA, 11-5 UFC) puts her belt on the line for the first time against Gillian Robertson (17-8 MMA, 14-6 UFC).
The third episode
