UFC 269: When is the UFC 269 press conference?

There will be two UFC 269 press conferences this week before the fights take place on Saturday.

The UFC typically conducts press conference events on the Thursday before the fight, where a host of fighters who will compete in the weekend's pay-per-view event will speak to members of the press. UFC 269 will be no different as a presser will take place on Thursday, December 9 (5 PM PT).

Meanwhile, fans and media members will also hear from the athletes after the ceremonial weigh-ins. The UFC 269 ceremonial weigh-ins will take place a day before the fight on Friday, December 10 (4 PM PT) at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

There will also be a UFC 269 post-fight press conference, where fighters give their instant reactions fresh off the contests. However, the event is only open to reporters and those with special access.

UFC 269 full fight card

UFC 269 will be the final pay-per-view event of the year. The fight card will be headlined by a title clash between UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira and top-ranked 155-pounder Dustin Poirier.

In the co-main event, UFC bantamweight queen Amanda Nunes returns against No.3-ranked Julianna Pena. A matchup between the two was previously booked for UFC 265, but was canceled after the champion reportedly contracted COVID-19.

The undercard will feature some of the biggest stars and the hottest up-and-comers in the promotion. Sean O'Malley, Santiago Ponzinibbio, Geoff Neal and former bantamweight champions Cody Garbrandt and Dominick Cruz will all be in action at UFC 269.
