UFC 304 ‘Embedded,’ No. 2: Inside ‘Meatball’ Molly McCann’s Polpetta Italian deli at Baltic Market

The UFC is across the pond for UFC 304, and the popular “Embedded” fight week video series is here to document what’s happening behind the scenes.

UFC 304 (pay-per-view/ESPN/ESPN+) takes place Saturday at Co-op Live in Manchester, England.

In the main event, welterweight champion Leon Edwards (22-3 MMA, 14-2 UFC) puts his belt on the line in a rematch with Belal Muhammad (23-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC) three years after their first encounter ended in a no contest. And in the co-headliner, Tom Aspinall (14-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) defends the interim heavyweight championship in a rematch with Curtis Blaydes (18-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC) two years after a freak knee injury to Aspinall ended their first fight.

The second 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:

Belal Muhammad runs up stairs before traveling to England; Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann train together; Champ Tom Aspinall packs for the hotel; Giga Chikadze trains with Beniel Dariush; Champ Leon Edwards arrives in Manchester; King Green eats dinner.
