The UFC’s loaded calendar through the end of the year has created much anticipation among fight fans.
Today in Las Vegas, the organization unveiled exactly what type of talent will be put on display when the UFC’s biggest stars converged for the “GO BIG” news conference at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
The press conference, which lasted more than an hour, featured nearly every main-event fighter through the end of 2015 and included several announcements, such as a second women’s championship fight at UFC 193 in Australia and the sellout of an upcoming card in Ireland.
Those announcements took a back seat to one fighter, however. UFC interim featherweight champion Conor McGregor, not surprisingly, stole the show when he engaged in a war of words with multiple fighters on stage, including rival Jose Aldo, lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos and upcoming 155-pound challenger Donald Cerrone.
The “GO BIG” press conference provided plenty of entertainment, and the MMA community followed along via social media. Check below for the top Twitter reactions to today’s star-studded event in “Sin City.”
