Watch Today’s UFC on Fox: Evans vs. Davis Press Conference

News conference streams live at 2 p.m. Eastern

CHICAGO – The first big UFC event in the official Fox network era takes place Saturday at the United Center in Chicago. But before the fighters step into the Octagon, or even weigh in, they’ll weigh in with members of the media.

The official pre-fight press conference for UFC on Fox: Evans vs. Davis takes place today at 2 p.m. Eastern. HeavyMMA will be on the scene at the W Hotel in downtown Chicago for the event, which is free and open to the public. If you can’t be there in person, you can still watch it LIVE. HeavyMMA will provide a stream of the news conference, which is expected to feature UFC president Dana White, along with main card fighters Rashad Evans, Phil Davis, Chael Sonnen, Michael Bisping, Demian Maia and Chris Weidman, plus preliminary card heavyweights Mike Russow, a Chicago police officer, and John-Olav Einemo.
