Episode Two of UFC Embedded Released

The second episode of UFC Embedded leading up to UFC 313 is now available. With just days left until fight night, fans get an exclusive look behind the scenes as fighters complete their final preparations.

UFC 313 will take place this Saturday, March 9, 2025, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. In the main event, reigning light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira will defend his title against Magomed Ankalaev, a dangerous contender from Dagestan.

Ankalaev’s Long-Awaited Title Shot

Magomed Ankalaev has been waiting a long time for his shot at the title, and now his moment has arrived. The Dagestani powerhouse, known for his well-rounded skillset, has remained undefeated in his last 13 fights and is finally getting the chance to compete for UFC gold.

Meanwhile, Alex Pereira is making his fourth title defense in less than a year, a remarkable feat. The Brazilian superstar has already built an impressive resume, and if he defeats Ankalaev, it raises the question—what more can he achieve in the light heavyweight division?

Co-Main Event: A Thrilling Rematch

The co-main event is set to deliver just as much excitement—if not more—despite last-minute changes. Originally, Justin Gaethje was scheduled to fight Dan Hooker, but Hooker was forced to withdraw. Now, Gaethje faces a familiar opponent: Rafael Fiziev.

Gaethje and Fiziev first squared off at UFC 286, where Gaethje emerged victorious in a thrilling three-round war. Now, Fiziev gets his chance at redemption. With Gaethje coming off a brutal knockout loss to Max Holloway at UFC 300, many fans are eager to see how he will respond in this unexpected rematch.

Focus on the Champion

Much of the episode centers around Alex Pereira, which is no surprise given his enormous popularity. One of the standout moments features Pereira delivering a motivational speech after an intense training session at Teixeira MMA.

His dominance in the division has made him one of the biggest names in the UFC, and fans continue to speculate about his future beyond UFC 313.

How Good Is Alex Pereira?

Since making his UFC debut in 2021, Alex Pereira has experienced one of the most impressive rises in MMA history. After winning and then losing the middleweight title, he moved up to light heavyweight, where he has cemented his legacy as a dominant force.

If Pereira successfully defends his title once again, does he deserve to be considered among the greatest UFC fighters of all time?
