UFC released episode four of UFC 215 Embedded, which you can check out in the player below.

UFC 215 is set for later today at the Rogers Place in Edmonton, Canada. In the headlining fight, women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes defends her title against Valentina Shevchenko in a rematch with the belt on the line.

As previously reported, Ray Borg was forced to withdraw from his scheduled title bout with UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson due to an illness. As a result, Nunes vs. Shevchenko II was moved from the co-main event to the headlining slot.

UFC 215 will be broadcast live tonight on PPV. Prelims will be shown on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. Here’s a synopsis for the latest episode of Embedded:

“On Episode 4 of UFC 215 Embedded, bantamweight title challenger Valentina Shevchenko talks confidence going into her championship rematch and sees the results of a glam outdoor photo shoot.

Then the stars show off their skills in front of fans at the official open workouts, where UFC welterweight Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and heavyweight Cain Velasquez hold court with Milan Lucic and Darnell Nurse of the Edmonton Oilers.
