LAS VEGAS – The UFC 276 pre-fight press conference took place Thursday and the entire main card was in attendance to answer questions.
At the conclusion of the festivities, all five matchups from the lineup, which airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ABC/ESPN and ESPN+, participated in some traditional staredowns.
Both championship fights were locked in, but so were the remaining pairings, including a middleweight title eliminator of Sean Strickland (25-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) vs. Alex Pereira (5-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC), a clash of ranked bantamweights Pedro Munhoz (19-7 MMA, 9-7 UFC) vs. Sean O'Malley (15-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC), then an all-action clash with MMA legend Robbie Lawler (29-15 MMA, 14-9 UFC) vs. Bryan Barberena (17-8 MMA, 8-6 UFC).
The staredowns featured a range of emotions, and you can watch the video of the three non-title faceoffs above.
