Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) held the kickoff press conference of Fight Night Beijing on Thursday to release the fight cards of the event. The main event will be between Curtis "Razor" Blaydes and Francis "The Predator" Ngannou.

Ngannou did not attend the press conference because he still had visa paperwork issues but Blaydes was there, apparently seeking vengeance from the official No.4 of UFC heavyweight who defeated him in their first fight in April 2016. Considering that the winner of this fight will have a big chance to become the next challenger to heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier, neither Razor nor The Predator will go easy on his rival.

Besides Blaydes, Li Jingliang, China's most successful MMA athlete and two female fighters, Wu Yanan and Zhang Weili, were also at the press conference.

"Our sell out debut event in Shanghai last November has just been voted the best MMA event in Asia, this is a fantastic achievement and one that would not be possible without the support of our passionate fans and valued partners. We're already building on this success with the upcoming debut UFC event in Beijing this November. Fans can expect to experience another enthralling night of premium MMA," said Kevin Chang, UFC vice president of Asia-Pacific.

UFC also announced that the 2018 national search for Octagon Girl in China has already begun. In 2017, more than 800 applied but Wang Jing Jing from Beijing and Pan Xiao from Suzhou became the first Chinese UFC Octagon Girls.

The winners of 2018 competition will appear at UFC Fight Night Beijing and join Red Dela Cruz, who was voted as Ring Girl of the Year at the Asia MMA Awards.

Curtis Blaydes vs. Francis Ngannou

Hu Yaozhong vs. Rashad Coulter

Wu Yanan vs. Shana Dobson
