Fans are invited to next week's UFC 150 kickoff press conference in Denver.
The event takes place next Tuesday, June 12, at Pepsi Center beginning at 1 p.m. ET (11 a.m. MT local time).
Headlining the UFC 150 pay-per-view event, which takes place at the same venue on Aug. 11, is a UFC lightweight title fight and rematch between champion Benson Henderson and former titleholder Frankie Edgar.
Both lightweights will be in attendance at the event, as will UFC president Dana White. For those unable to attend, the presser will stream live on UFC.com and MMAjunkie.com.
UFC 150 tickets go on sale to the general public beginning next week. Ticket prices and pre-sale dates will be announced in the coming days.
UFC 150 is the first show in Denver since UFC 135 in September 2011, when light-heavyweight champ Jon Jones defended his belt with a victory over ex-titleholder Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.
Edgar (14-2-1 MMA, 9-2-1 UFC), of course, surrendered the belt to Henderson (16-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC) back in February at UFC 144. White initially encouraged Edgar to drop to 145 pounds and challenge UFC featherweight champ Jose Aldo for the title. However, Edgar, who had immediate rematches with B.J. Penn and Gray Maynard during his title reign, remained intent on fighting again for the lightweight belt. A bit of fan lobbying and fighter encouragement eventually led White to change his mind and award a rematch to Edgar.
I always enjoy these Press Conferences, this one especially though because it will have my man Bendo on it.
