LAS VEGAS – The UFC is back home for UFC 216, which takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and festivities kicked off today with media day, which MMAjunkie attended.
Surprisingly, there were no fireworks on stage – just a little side eye from “The Black Beast.”
In the main event, Tony Ferguson (22-3 MMA, 12-1 UFC) and Kevin Lee (16-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) face off for the interim lightweight title. And in the co-headliner, flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson (26-2-1 MMA, 14-1-1 UFC) aims to break the UFC record for consecutive title defenses with his 11th against Ray Borg (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC).
All 10 main-card fighters, including heavyweights Fabricio Werdum (21-7-1 MMA, 9-4 UFC) and Derrick Lewis (18-5 MMA, 9-3 UFC), squared off.
Watch the video above to see how it all went down.
