UFC press conference criticized as obsolete format producing minimal content

A commentator has argued that UFC press conferences have become completely obsolete and fail to serve their original purposes. The analysis suggests press conferences were meant to provide substantive answers and expose fighters' pre-fight emotions, but the first goal hasn't been met in years due to lack of sharp questions or meaningful responses. While occasional emotional moments still occur, they happen perhaps once every two or three years, making the format inefficient. The writer proposes conducting press conferences only with that infrequency and only when participants are willing to create genuine conflict or confrontation. Recent events demonstrated that gathering fighters at a table without real conflict or exposed nerves results in forgettable content. The only memorable moments from the recent press conference involved Josh Hockit's performances, which while cringeworthy, at least created memorable content including reactions from Derrick Lewis, Alex Pereira, and Ilia Topuria, plus a mini-scuffle that led to Hockit's removal and early conclusion of the event.
