The UFC 248 press conference will take place from Houston, Texas later today (Fri. February 8, 2020). It will feature UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya and multiple-time title challenger Yoel Romero.

Both men headline the UFC 248 pay-per-view (PPV) event from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 7, 2020. In the co-main event, UFC women’s strawweight champion Weili Zhang puts her title on the line against former division queen Joanna JÄ™drzejczyk. However, today’s presser will only feature the main event competitors. It will be interesting to see what the two have to say to one another.
