The press conference for UFC 328 has been set for Thursday night, with the event kicking off at midnight Moscow time as the card's final buildup gets underway ahead of the May 9 show.

Organizers confirmed that only the fighters competing in the main event and co-main event will appear at the media session. Athletes from the rest of the card will not be in attendance, with the announcement specifically noting that fighters such as Vanu and Taira — who are expected to compete on the card — will not be part of the press conference lineup.

Why it matters

  • Restricting press conference access to the top two bouts is a common promotional decision to keep media focus on the card's marquee matchups.
  • Fighters lower on the card, including those mentioned by name, will miss a significant visibility opportunity ahead of UFC 328.
  • The format signals that the main and co-main event participants are likely to draw the bulk of pre-fight media attention heading into May 9.

The identities of the main event and co-main event fighters have not been detailed in the announcement, leaving the top billing of UFC 328 unconfirmed through this particular release.
