ANAHEIM, Calif. – The UFC 298 pre-fight press conference went down Thursday and it was the initial opportunity to get a look at fighter staredowns for the second numbered event of 2024.

The card, which is headlined by a featherweight title bout between Alexander Volkanovski (26-3 MMA, 13-2 UFC) and Ilia Topuria (14-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC), goes down Saturday at Honda Center with a main card that airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+.

In addition to the main event, a stacked slate of matchups round out the undercard. That includes Robert Whittaker (24-7 MMA, 15-5 UFC) vs. Paulo Costa (14-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC), Geoff Neal (15-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) vs. Ian Machado Garry (13-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC), Merab Dvalishvili (16-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC) vs. Henry Cejudo (16-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) and Anthony Hernandez (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) vs. Roman Kopylov (12-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC).

All five pairings were in attendance at the pre-fight press conference, where they answered questions and engaged in faceoffs.
