UFC 193: ‘UFC Embedded: Rousey vs Holm’ gets red carpet premiere on FOX, sneak peek of Octagon at Etihad Stadium and UFC 193 extended preview

The Ultimate Fighting Championship is set to give “UFC 193 Embedded” a red carpet premiere as they launch the pre-fight web series as a lead-in to Fox network’s college football coverage.

Yahoo Sports reported that for the first time, the UFC and Fox are giving the promotion’s original web series, Embedded, the red carpet treatment, with the initial episode airing on Nov. 7, Saturday at 2 p.m. ET (Sunday, 6 a.m. AEDT). The special episode will also re-air on Monday at 10 p.m. (Tuesday, 2 p.m. AEDT) on Fox Sports.

The UFC Embedded: Rousey vs Holm will give a behind-the-scene look at the lives and training camps of both fighters leading up to the main event card of the UFC 193 at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia, where the company aims to break its own attendance record. The pre-fight web series will also feature co-main event strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Valerie Letourneau.

In the main event of the UFC, Ronda Rousey will try to use her boxing skills to defend her bantamweight title against former boxer Holly Holm, who has been training hard under the helms of Greg Jackson, Mike Winkeljohn, and pound-for-pound king Jon Jones. Holm, undefeated with nine wins, claimed she is not intimidated by the ‘most dangerous woman in the planet’ as she sticks with their outlined game plan.

"Having such great coaching and having such great teammates and having that, that sense of accomplishment and that champion mindset is huge,” Holm told Fox Sports. "These guys are champions because they perform, but they have the help of the best coaching in the world.”

Rousey, on the other hand, admitted Holm would be her biggest challenge so far in her illustrious MMA career at the UFC. In her 12 fights, Rousey has won nine of her matches via submission. Her signature arm bar move and judo skills have been her bread and butter in remaining atop the women’s MMA world, but according to her coach Edmond Tarverdyan, “Rowdy” is ready to prove she also has the boxing skills Holm has.

“We’re ready for everything, but if the question is, does Ronda need to prove that she’s a boxer? I hope (Holm) does box with us because Ronda can box,” Tarverdyan said, reports the UFC’s official website. “Ronda has knockout punching power in both hands.”
