On the latest UFC 192: Embedded episodes, the fighters get forced into close quarters with one another under physically and emotionally stressful circumstances, and the fans are brought inside for an up-close and personal view. Light-heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier proved that not even cutting weight in a sauna can stop him from trash talking as he taunted rival Ryan Bader as they sweated to prepare for Friday's weigh-ins.

Bader's opponent Rashad Evans made some prank calls an old man, cracked jokes with his team as well as Cormier, and then got in Bader's face at weigh-ins. For his part, Cormier did the same with his challenger Alexander Gustafsson, told him to go become a model in Sweden, leave the fighting to him, and promised him a whooping.

You'll also see Houston Rockets like Dwight Howard and James Harden chatting with Cormier and Evans during a team practice. Howard especially seemed very interested in asking Evans how hard Chuck Liddell hit, and how strong Quinton "Rampage" Jackson was.

Catch Evans' answers to those questions, and much more in the UFC 192: Embedded episodes, above and below. Then, stick with us all night and weekend for complete coverage of the big Houston UFC event!
