LAS VEGAS – Fourteen fighters from seven bouts on Saturday’s UFC 222 faced off today, and MMAjunkie has the highlights.

In the headliner, women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg (19-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) defends her title against Invicta FC 135-pound champion Yana Kunitskaya (10-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC). And in the co-main event, top contenders Frankie Edgar (22-5-1 MMA, 16-5-1 UFC) and Brian Ortega (13-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) square off in a featherweight title eliminator.

All four of those fighters and the rest of the main card, as well as four preliminary-bout competitors, including debuting prospect Mackenzie Dern (5-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC), squared up at today’s media day at MGM Grand.

Andre Soukhamthath and Sean O'Malley, who meet on the pay-per-view main card, had to be separated after Soukhamthath (12-5 MMA, 1-2 UFC) slapped O’Malley (9-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) in the hand during their staredown.

UFC 222 takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
