UFC 178 Embedded: Episode 2
This weekend’s (Sat., September 27, 2014) UFC 178 pay-per-view (PPV) from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, is slated to be perhaps the most stacked UFC event of 2014.
Most of that hype surrounds two bouts that aren’t even the main event, ironically, as rising featherweight Conor McGregor’s ability to hype a fight is rivaled by no one now that Chael Sonnen is retired. McGregor will meet No. 5-ranked Dustin Poirier at UFC 178, and his assault on “Diamond” won’t stop until the cage door locks this Saturday.
In the second episode of UFC 178 Embedded, McGregor embarks on a media tour in Los Angeles, California, to continue his self-imposed war of words while Poirier prepares to make his trip to Vegas.
The other bout garnering a ton of attention is the co-main event between surging No. 4 lightweight Donald Cerrone and debuting former Bellator 155-pound champion Eddie Alvarez. Like McGregor, Alvarez wraps up some media obligations in Philadelphia before heading to Vegas.
Never one to overanalyze his opponent or the situation, Cerrone simply goes wakeboarding and continues training for the fight, which could earn the winner a coveted UFC lightweight title shot. Watch all the action of UFC 178 Embedded Episode 2 below:
