UFC on Versus 6: "Cruz vs. Johnson" will take place this Sat., Oct. 1, 2011, from the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. And that means it's time for all the pre-fight festivities.

In the main event of the evening, Dominick Cruz will defend his bantamweight title for the second time in the UFC, this one against the "Mightiest Mouse" in the division, Demetrious Johnson.

There are other compelling match-ups on the card, including Pat Barry vs. Stefan Struve, Anthony Johnson vs. Charlie Brenneman and Matt Wiman vs. Mac Danzig.

It's a solid free card, folks.

The open workouts were held yesterday and our fine friends at SB Nation were live on the scene to get the word from some of the key players. Videos are after the jump, including interviews with Cruz, Johnson, the other Johnson and Brenneman.
