Ahead of UFC 334 ceremonial weigh-ins Friday, a press conference is being held in New York for the stars of the upcoming UFC 335 and UFC 336 events. Watch a live stream above beginning at 4 p.m. ET.
Flyweight champion Joshua Van, “BMF” champion Charles Oliveira, and former two-division champion Alex Pereira will take the stage to answer questions. Also joining them are Manel Kape, Diego Lopes, Sergei Pavlovich, and interim title competitors Carlos Prates and Michael Morales.
Oliveira and Lopes headline UFC 335 on Dec. 12 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with Oliveira putting the symbolic BMF belt on the line against the popular Lopes. In the co-main event, Pereira gets his chance to get back on track to make history and chase a third title when he faces Pavlovich in a matchup of top heavyweight contenders.
The UFC’s 2027 campaign kicks off in Toronto, where Van defends his title against Kape, while Prates and Morales battle for an interim belt in the co-main event with the winner targeting undisputed champion Islam Makhachev.
Friday’s press conference gives each of these eight fighters a golden opportunity to test their rivals’ mental mettle and set the stakes for the big shows still to come.
