Holloway (18-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC) and Aldo (26-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) rematch on Saturday in the UFC 218 main event for Holloway’s featherweight title – the title he took from Aldo earlier this year. Aldo took the fight on short notice after Holloway’s original opponent, former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar, pulled out with an injury. Today at a media day in support of UFC 218, the fighters on the main card got together to meet the press and face off with each other before Friday’s weigh-ins and Saturday’s fights. Holloway and Aldo were intense, but civil. Also on the main card, Francis Ngannou (10-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) meets Alistair Overeem (43-15 MMA, 8-4 UFC) in a heavyweight co-main event; Henry Cejudo (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) takes on Sergio Pettis (16-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) in a critical flyweight contenders fight; Eddie Alvarez (28-5 MMA, 3-2 UFC) fights fellow “TUF 26” coach Justin Gaethje (18-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) at lightweight; and Tecia Torres (9-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) opens the main card against Michelle Waterson (14-5 MMA, 2-1 UFC) in a women’s strawweeight bout
