Who is the current UFC middleweight champion and who is the challenger for their upcoming fight at UFC 263?
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is set to hold its much-anticipated UFC 263 pay-per-view event on June 12, 2021, in Glendale, Arizona. And as part of the build-up to the event, the UFC held a pre-fight press conference on June 10, featuring some of the main fighters on the card, who provided insights into their preparations, expectations, and strategies for the upcoming bouts.
One of the main highlights of the press conference was the appearance of the reigning UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, and his challenger, Marvin Vettori, who will face off in the main event of UFC 263. The two fighters had previously fought in 2018, with Adesanya winning by split decision. However, Vettori has since improved his record and is currently on a five-fight unbeaten streak, making him a formidable opponent for the champion.
During the press conference, Adesanya and Vettori engaged in a verbal showdown, with Adesanya insisting that he has made significant improvements since their first fight and is confident of victory, while Vettori expressed his belief that he has what it takes to dethrone the champion and become the first Italian UFC titleholder.
Another highlight of the press conference was the presence of Nate Diaz, who will be making his much-awaited return to the octagon after a two-year hiatus to face Leon Edwards in the co-main event. Diaz, who is known for his unorthodox fighting style and trash-talking abilities, was in good spirits and engaged in some friendly banter with his opponent.
The other fighters who featured in the press conference were Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno, who will be fighting for the flyweight title, and Paul Craig and Jamahal Hill, who will be facing off in the light heavyweight division. All the fighters expressed their readiness for the upcoming bouts and promised to give their best performances.
Overall, the UFC 263 pre-fight press conference was an entertaining and insightful event that gave fans a taste of what to expect in the coming days. While the fighters had their differences and rivalries, they all shared a common goal of putting on a great show and making history in their respective divisions.
