Isreal Adesanya and Anderson Silva were the other guests of honor at tonight’s pre-fight press conference. While “Stylebender” and “The Spider” did engage in some back and forth, it was hardly the smorgasbord of quotes that come from say a Jon Jones presser.

UFC 234 takes place Saturday night (Feb. 9, 2019) live from the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
