From the UFC’s tweet, we know that Rose Namajunas, Jessica Andrade, Rafael dos Anjos, Kevin Lee, Alexander Gustafsson, Anthony Smith, Henry Cejudo, Marlon Moraes, Jon Jones, Thiago Santos, Amanda Nunes and Holly Holm will all be there.

As usual, UFC President Dana White will host the press conference, which is free and open to the public.

More fighters are expected to be added but one name not on the list at the moment, is Ben Askren. Quickly becoming one of the most popular fighters in the UFC, Askren sent these tweets shortly after the UFC ‘s announcement.

Don’t worry I will be there to make it more exciting https://t.co/Kob10q6UHw

Well just got word from the boss @danawhite that I’m back in for the press conference. Who’s read to have some fun!!!

These big UFC press conferences are usually pretty fun. As you can imagine from having several big personalities altogether. You can almost guarantee arguments, bad words and insults flying across the stage. And certainly if Askren is there, the entertainment level is sure to go up.
