UFC 332 Embedded, No. 5: Mackenzie Dern brings homecoming vibes to Natalia Silva

The UFC is in Utah for UFC 332, its ninth numbered event of the calendar year, and a vacant women’s flyweight title fight headlines the card.

The popular "Embedded" fight week video series is here to document what's happening behind the scenes. UFC 332 (Paramount+, CBS) takes place Saturday at Delta Center in Salt Lake City.

In the main event, Natalia Silva (20-5-1 MMA, 8-0 UFC) meets Wang Cong (10-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) for the women’s flyweight title recently vacated by Valentina Shevchenko. In the co-feature, former flyweight champ Deiveson Figueiredo (25-7-1 MMA, 14-7-1 UFC) takes on Payton Talbott (11-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC). 

The fifth 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:
