Even though the bout was announced just last week, the world’s leading mixed martial arts (MMA) organization is already setting its hype machine in motion, hosting a UFC 236 press conference today (Fri., March 1, 2019) inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. This event will be open to the public; however, if you are not fortunate enough to be in “Sin City,” fight fans can watch the UFC 236 press conference live on ESPN+ or in the embedded video player above. UFC 236-related coverage will also appear on ESPN’s “SportsCenter” throughout the evening, according to a press release.
In addition to Holloway and Poirier, the featured fighters in UFC 236’s co-main event, No. 4-ranked Middleweight Kelvin Gastelum and No. 5-ranked Israel Adesanya, will also be on hand to discuss their 185-pound scrap for the division interim belt (details). Of course, UFC President Dana White will also be on hand to emcee the promotional event and likely responding to reporters who say “stupid things.”
