Don't miss the pre-fight press conference for the penultimate UFC card of 2025.
UFC 323 is nearly upon us. And tonight, under the bright Las Vegas lights, the pre-fight press conference will set the stage for a night that promises to be nothing short of historic.
This isn’t just another card. It’s a masterclass in stakes — two world titles, three former champions, and a parade of contenders hungry enough to chew through steel.
At the top of the bill stands Merab Dvalishvili, a man who has spent the last year rewriting what it means to be a UFC champion. Three title defenses in twelve months — a pace unheard of in modern MMA. Across from him: Petr Yan, the former bantamweight king, polished, dangerous, and riding a three-fight resurgence since their last encounter. It’s not a rematch. It’s a reckoning.
Then comes Alexandre Pantoja, the flyweight ruler who has turned title defenses into a ritual. Tonight, he faces Joshua Van — a 24-year-old phenomenon on a five-fight tear. Youth versus mastery. Hunger versus experience. The kind of story advertising men dream about, but the Octagon delivers.
And that’s just the beginning.
The UFC’s final pay-per-view of the ESPN era reads like a roll call of champions.
Jan Błachowicz, a man who has bent light heavyweights in half. Brandon Moreno, beloved, relentless, always on the edge of redemption. Henry Cejudo, double-champ, Olympic gold medalist, stepping into the cage for his final curtain call against the dangerous Payton Talbott.
The prelims? They’re built to steal the show.
Marvin Vettori, a former title challenger, is fighting not just Brunno Ferreira — a finisher with a perfect record of stoppages — but the weight of a three-fight skid. Maycee Barber meets Karine Silva in a collision with rankings implications written all over it. Grant Dawson and Manuel Torres close out a preliminary slate stacked with the kind of matchups that turn casual viewers into lifelong fans.
At 8:00 p.m. ET, the pre-fight press conference goes live.
If you love this sport, you’ll be there. If you sell this sport, you wouldn’t miss it for the world.
