Saturday night sees the UFC return to FX with a card headlined by Vitor Belfort and Luke Rockhold. The fight will be Rockhold’s first in the UFC after moving over following the closing of Strikeforce where he was middleweight champion.
The two men have engaged in some heated pre-fight trash talk, mostly centered around Belfort’s use of Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). That will almost certainly come up once again as the two men talk at today’s pre-fight press conference.
The presser gets underway at 10:30 a.m. ET live from Brazil.
