UFC 109 "fighter arrivals" canceled, but Thursday's press conference open to public
The Ultimate Fighting Championship's "fighter arrival" event for this week's UFC 109 card has been canceled, but UFC officials have confirmed with MMAjunkie.com they have opened Thursday's press conference to the public.
The fighter arrivals were scheduled for today at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, which also hosts Saturday's pay-per-view event.
Instead, fans are invited to Thursday's pre-event presser, which takes place at 4 p.m. ET (1 p.m. PT local time).
The event, which is free, takes place at the Mizuya Lounge in Mandalay Bay.
Taking part in the press conference are UFC president Dana White, Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Keith Kizer, UFC 109 headliners Mark Coleman and Randy Couture, co-headliners Nate Marquardt and Chael Sonnen, and preliminary-card fighter Brian Stann. The press conference includes opening remarks from each competitor and a Q&A session with the media (and possibly fans).
