TWO TITLES UP FOR GRABS! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) makes its highly anticipated return to Madison Square Garden in New York City on Sat., Nov. 11, 2023, with a re-worked pay-per-view (PPV) main card. In the ESPN+-streamed main event, former 205-pound roost-ruler, Jiri Prochazka, will lock horns with ex-Middleweight kingpin, Alex Pereira, for the promotion’s vacant Light Heavyweight title. In UFC 295’s co-main event, top-ranked Heavyweight contenders, Sergei Pavlovich (No. 2) and Tom Aspinall (No. 4), will collide for the interim strap after division champion, Jon Jones, was injured with a torn pectoral muscle and forced to withdraw (video).

And it was lit, if not a total, tense circus. That’s because top-ranked Welterweight contender, Colby Covington, had an open mic and said really outrageous crap, while 170-pound champion, Kamaru Usman, occasionally sat back and provided several passive-aggressive reminders (like this one) regarding their first encounter.

The full list of UFC 268 press conference participants, which was free and open to the public inside Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York, N.Y., included:

• UFC President, Dana White
• UFC Welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman
• No. 1-ranked Welterweight contender, Colby Covington
• UFC women’s Strawweight champion, Rose Namajunas
• No. 1-seeded women’s Strawweight contender, Zhang Weili
• No. 2-ranked Lightweight contender, Justin Gaethje
• No. 4-seeded Lightweight contender, Michael Chandler

In UFC 268’s co-main event, women’s Strawweight champion, Rose Namajunas, will collide with former division queenpin, Zhang Weili, in an immediate rematch. Other big bouts on the card include Justin Gaethje vs. Michael Chandler, Shane Burgos vs. Billy Quarantillo, Frankie Edgar vs. Marlon Vera and Al Iaquinta vs. Bobby Green.
