LAS VEGAS – Although it wasn’t planned this way, only two of the six fighters took their seats at the UFC 279 pre-fight press conference.
As UFC president Dana White described it, a “sh*t show” occurred before the event began. Despite the frenzy backstage, Kevin Holland and Daniel Rodriguez were cordial enough to come out, shake hands and take their seats after a quick change in seating assignments.
Holland (23-7 MMA, 10-4 UFC) and Rodriguez (16-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) compete in a short-notice 180-pound catchweight contest that will serve as the feature bout on the main card of the pay-per-view.
