Megan Olivi, a staple of the UFC and a beloved MMA personality, has provided fans with a look into the behind-the-scenes work that goes into creating content for the UFC's on-screen programming.

Olivi has put forth an Instagram post featuring a video of herself shooting for a special edition of her UFC-related show, 'UFC Connected.' As indicated in the video, she was at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, to film the episode. It'll cover the landmark UFC 300 event.

Additionally, Olivi attached a statement to the post that encouraged fans to tell her about what other UFC behind-the-scenes content they want to see. An excerpt from the 37-year-old's statement read as follows:

"We're in the studio filming a special UFC 300 edition of UFC Connected. Get behind the lights, camera, and action. What behind-the-scenes content would you like to see next? Drop ideas below in the comments."

A number of netizens took to the comments section of Olivi's Instagram post, with one fan notably asserting that they love her behind-the-scenes content. Furthermore, the commenter alluded to the MMA personality being a part of a major production (i.e., the UFC) and questioned whether she uses a teleprompter or memorizes her lines.

The American journalist responded to the question by implying that she had a teleprompter while filming the UFC 300 episode. Nevertheless, the UFC interviewer and analyst added that she utilizes her own writing, memorization, or impromptu speech for all other content. Olivi responded to the commenter by writing:

"@sovigor thank you! For this show only there is a prompter. For everything else - all broadcasts and desk work it's all my writing and memorization. Or off the cuff."
