The UFC is on its home turf in “Sin City” this week for the annual “International Fight Week” and a pay-per-view featuring two title fights. Once again, the promotion has rolled out its “Embedded” treatment to preview UFC 226. UFC 226 takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. In the headliner, heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic (18-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC) puts his belt on the line against light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier (20-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) in a superfight. And in the co-feature, featherweight champ Max Holloway (19-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) takes on unbeaten challenger Brian Ortega (14-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC).
