Prior to Saturday’s UFC 221 event, watch the headliners and co-headliners face off at the traditional pre-event press conference.

At today’s media event, Luke Rockhold (16-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) went face-to-face with fellow headliner Yoel Romero (12-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC), who gave a big smirk when his opponent began some pre-fight chatter.

Also at UFC 221, heavyweight veteran and local favorite Mark Hunt (13-11-1 MMA, 8-5-1 UFC) takes on rising contender Curtis Blaydes (9-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC).
