Video: Still no Ronda Rousey, but UFC 207 fighters face-off in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS – Headliner Ronda Rousey still has yet to make her first fight week appearance, and so opponent Amanda Nunes was given a reprieve from today’s UFC 207 ultimate media day.

Also featured were former UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw (13-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) vs. John Lineker (29-7 MMA, 10-2 UFC), welterweights Dong Hyun Kim (21-3-1 MMA, 12-3 UFC) vs. Tarec Saffiedine (16-5 UFC, 2-2 UFC) and flyweights Ray Borg (9-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) vs. Louis Smolka (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC).

Smolka and Borg refused to break eye contact, leading to an intense staredown before the fighters were separated.

Former UFC welterweight champ Johny Hendricks (17-5 MMA, 12-5 UFC) and Neil Magny (18-5 MMA, 11-4 UFC), who meet in the featured bout of the FS1-broadcast prelims, also took part in the ceremony.

UFC 207 takes place Friday at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Center. The evening’s main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
