    The UFC is returning Down Under with UFC 305, and the popular “Embedded” fight week video series is here to document what’s happening behind the scenes.

    UFC 305 (pay-per-view/ESPN/ESPN+) takes place Saturday at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia.

    In the main event, bitter rivals will finally get their hands on each other as middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis (21-2 MMA, 7-0 UFC) makes his first title defense against former champ Israel Adesanya (24-3 MMA, 13-3 UFC). In the co-main event, former title challengers Steve Erceg (12-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) and Kai Kara-France (24-11 MMA, 7-4 UFC) meet in a critical flyweight bout.

    The sixth and final episode of “Embedded” follows the featured fighters while they get ready for fight week. Here is the UFC’s description of the episode from YouTube:

    Jingliang explores Caversham Wildlife Park, while Kai Kara-France, Israel Adesanya, and Tai Tuivasa finalize their weight cut preparations ahead of the UFC 305 weigh-ins. The stars of UFC 305 all make weight and face off, setting the stage for an epic showdown in Perth.
