Eye contact!

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) today (April 18, 2012) once again assembled the cast and crew from the upcoming UFC 145: "Jones vs. Evans" pay-per-view (PPV) event, which goes down this Saturday night (April 21) from the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

UFC 145 will be headlined by a light heavyweight title fight featuring former training partners and bitter rivals Jon Jones vs. Rashad Evans, who came face-to-face at the conclusion of today's pre-fight press conference to lock eyes and look mean.

If you missed any of today's action, check our our UFC 145 press conference live blog right here.

This weekend's festivities will also feature a welterweight match-up pitting rising star Rory MacDonald against British banger Che Mills. Heavyweights Brendan Schaub and Ben Rothwell are also scheduled to get their hands dirty in "The Peach State."

None of those fighters were in attendance; however, as the promotion has narrowed its focus to the main event and all the pre-fight drama that has preceded it. See for yourself right here.
