UFC 179 Embedded: Episode 3
The UFC rolls on tonight (Thurs., October 23, 2014) with the third episode of UFC 179: Embedded from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Watch as champion Jose Aldo and Chad Mendes share a tense moment in the hotel. Irish featherweight Conor McGregor, thought to be the next title contender at 145 pounds (though he may not be), arrives in Brazil to get the trash talking party started.
Back at the hotel, Aldo receives some extremely high praise from former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos, who believes his friend “Junior” to be the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
Co-main event participant Phil Davis joins Team Alpha Male leader Urijah Faber for some jiu-jitsu training, while his opponent Glover Teixeira shrugs off any notion of training during an important fight week.
Mendes takes to the beach to evoke Rocky before the biggest fight of his life before McGregor heads to Rio de Janeiro begin talking his trademark trash. Check out the behind-the-scenes action below:
