Dana White, Anderson Silva, Vitor Belfort and others will meet the media for the UFC 126 pre-fight press conference Wednesday afternoon in Las Vegas, and we’ll have the live video right here at MMAFighting.com.
The pre-fight press conference is the last chance for the fighters to hype their fight, and is often the scene of some fight-week trash talk, although in the case of Silva and Belfort, they’ve generally been quiet and deferential to each other. We’ll see if that changes on Wednesday.
The UFC 126 pre-fight press conference begins at 4 PM ET and the video is below.
("Come at me, bro.")
Will Anderson try to answer questions in English?
Will Vitor talk about how training with Jesus has helped him prepare for this fight?
Will "Bones" Jones talk about how awesome he is?

If you don’t have the time or couldn’t be bothered to watch the show, we got you covered.
Here are the CP Notes of this edition:
– Anderson doesn’t like Vitor and says whoever God wants to win will win Saturday.
– Vitor believes Jesus loves him more and will help him beat Anderson.
– Ed Soares respects Vitor and seems somewhat nervous about this fight.
– Vitor respects Anderson, but says he isn’t afraid of him.
– Vitor says he’s not there to dance around (like Anderson), he’s there to fight.
– Rich seems to be training seriously ahead of this fight, both in the gym and the tanning beds.
– Forrest seems to be doing lots of book promo ahead of this fight.
– Forrest might rely on his new BJJ black belt for this fight.
– Both Franklin and Griffin say they are pretty much the same fighter, only Rich says Forrest is much bigger.
– Forrest doesn’t like being asked questions about Anderson.
– Jones has a lot of hype to live up to and seems to be buying into it himself.
– Jones wasn’t impressed by Bader’s win over Lil’ Nog, even though Nogueira is widely considered a better calibre fighter than any "Bones" has beaten.
– Jones doesn’t think Bader is very good because he "doesn’t knee, spin or jump."
– Jones doesn’t plan on toning down his cockiness flashiness for the fight.
– CB Dollaway is a weird looking dude.
Parts two and three are after the jump.

A week or so ago, when we noted that nearly every claim made in the official UFC 126 trailer was at least debatable (if not an out-and-out lie), the one fight saved from our incredulity was Forrest Griffin vs. Rich Franklin. Maybe that’s because the best hype the UFC could drum up for this bout was to have its voiceover guy dramatically bellow, “Former champions Forrest Griffin and Rich Franklin will battle it out!” Yep, that feels … accurate. But if, like us, you think this meeting between two old warhorses lacks a certain sizzle, you’re not alone. Even the fighters themselves appear to understand this fight needs a little something extra to get people really emotionally invested.
And so Griffin, that mischievous little imp, would like to propose a gentleman’s wager on the outcome of this scrap: Loser gets tattooed. A bemused Franklin – who from the looks of this vid has spent the last seven months since his victory over Chuck Liddell making sure that lifetime membership at the tanning salon pays for itself – seems oddly cool with the idea. He suggests the loser must get inked-up with a picture of the winner, which to us is a truly inspired idea. Unless you guys have any other suggestions.
