Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will start 2018 off with a bang when it hosts UFC 220 on Jan. 20 live on pay-per-view (PPV) from inside TD Garden in Boston, Mass., as heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic meets the fast-rising Francis Ngannou and light heavyweight king Daniel Cormier puts his title on the line against top contender Volkan Oezdemir.
In preparation for the early-2018 PPV event, the promotion held a UFC 220 press conference earlier today (Fri., Dec. 29, 2017) from Las Vegas, Nevada (video replay here). As usual, the main event and co-main event participants squared off for staredowns.
Check out above to see Miocic’s first on-stage showdown with “Predator,” while Cormier’s initial mean mugging with Oezdemir can be seen below:

With less than one month to go before these two title fights play out, expect more UFC 220 pre-fight promotion once the calendar changes over to 2018.
