UFC 217 is set to be one of the most spectacular events of the year in Madison Square Garden on Saturday night.
Every now and again these UFC cards come around that are stacked with main-event worthy fights from top to bottom, and 217 is right up there with anything we've seen recently with the return of GSP, the Garbrandt/Dillashaw clash that feels like it has been an eternity in the making, and not to mention Jospeh Duffy adding some Irish interest too.
The women's strawweight title will be on the line when Joanna Jedrzejczyk takes on Rose Namajunas in what is sure to be an eventful fight.
The Polish fighter will be looking for her sixth consecutive title defence in the UFC, which would cement her place as one of the scariest women in all of sports if it was not already. Evidence of how intimidating Jedrzejczyk can be has emerged from the latest episode of UFC embedded, as we found out what was said when the two fighters faced off at the press conference.
Like something out of Mortal Kombat, Jedrzejczyk told Namajunas that she was coming to take her soul, and it was absolutely terrifying.

Namajunas 6-3 record does not look great up against the 14-0 of her next opponent, but she is always a threat on the ground and will be counting on her tremendous heart to keep her in the fight into the late rounds.
At a UFC 217 press conference where Bisping and Garbrandt took the headlines for bickering with their opponents, this chilling threat from Jedrzejczyk was something we are glad the Embedded crew picked up.
