Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) today (April 10) held a special pre-fight press conference for its upcoming "Barao vs. Wineland" pay-per-view (PPV) event, which is set to take place at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, on June 15, 2013.

UFC 161 will feature bantamweight champion Renan Barao putting his 135-pound interim title on the line against division number one contender Eddie Wineland. Both headliners were in attendance today, and you can check out their staredown pic right here.
Also scheduled for the promotion's first-ever fight card in "The Peg" is a 135-pound female bout between Alexis Davis vs. Rosi Sexton, which will no doubt get the winner closer to a title shot after Miesha Tate or Cat Zingano collides with division champion Ronda Rousey later this year.
Davis was in the house earlier this afternoon and talking up her "hometown advantage."
