Thursday in Las Vegas, there will be a pre-fight press conference to promote UFC 226. The upcoming pay-per-view offering will be headlined by a super-fight between reigning heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic, who will look to defend his title against light heavyweight king Daniel Cormier.
Initially expected to be on this press conference were the two featherweights in Max Holloway and Brian Ortega, but with the featherweight champion recently pulling out of their title bout, plans for that have obviously been cancelled as well. It’s since been announced that new co-headliners in Francis Ngannou and Derrick Lewis have been tapped to join the media event, along with the UFC President in Dana White.
