The pre-fight press conference for this Saturdays UFC on Fox 2 event aired tonight, and we got a chance to see some verbal sparring between the fighters before things get physical on Saturday. There were some good moments, with noticeable tension between the main event competitors, and it got me pretty pumped for the event. One of the most interesting notes from the conference was the championship belt that Chael Sonnen brought to the table, which I think is a great idea, considering his repeated claims that he is the real middleweight champion of the UFC. Michael Bisping didn't bring any props with him, but he brought his patented quick wit, and used it to sting Sonnen more than once, certainly not something we are used to seeing. The video is below, and skip to the final two minutes for some intense stare downs, especially between the four main event fighters.
The press conference begins at about 24:18 of this video, with some pretty good hype videos from about 11:50 onward.
