This is the second time the two men come face-to-face, though an impromptu dance-off didn’t pop off this time around. But Adesanya did fake a backflip after Romero executed one during their first staredown a few months back.

Also getting some media love were the co-headliners, as women’s strawweight champion, Weili Zhang, came face-to-face with former division queenpin, Joanna Jedrzejczyk. As usual, Jedrzejczyk tried to get up-close and personal with her foe, and even threw in a little bit of trash talk. For her part, the usually-reserved Zhang wasn’t having it, and politely asked Joanna to “shut up,” which drew a laugh from the crowd and further irritated Jedrzejczyk.

Watch them stare each other down below:
