We're deep into UFC 302 fight week, meaning it's time for the top fighters set to be in action on June 1 to take to the stage and answer some questions.

The MMA leader's latest numbered event takes place at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, where the main attraction will see UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev put his belt on the line against fan favorite Dustin Poirier.

Also on the card, Kevin Holland will make a short-notice return to 185 pounds to throw down with Michał Oleksiejczuk, Jailton Almeida will look to bounce back from the opening loss of his UFC career against Alexandr Romanov, and Randy Brown and Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos hope to kick the PPV portion of Saturday's lineup off in style.

As is customary during major fight weeks, the athletes took to the stage on Thursday for the pre-fight press conference. The UFC 302 edition saw Makhachev, Poirier, Strickland, and Costa with mic in hand.
