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+.
