Join us at Bloody Elbow for the UFC 148 pre-fight press conference from the Lagasse Stadium in The Palazzo in Las Vegas, NV. This will the first of two planned pre-fight press conferences, with the other coming on Thursday. We're expecting Dana White, UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, and challenger Chael Sonnen to be in attendance for today's presser. The two men will face off in a much-anticipated rematch after their epic first fight at UFC 117 that saw Silva submit Sonnen in the fifth and final round after being dominated for the first four.

You can catch the action on the Youtube stream below the jump, but if that doesn't work for some reason you can always check it out over at MMA Fighting.

We'll update the post with highlights from the press conference as they happen.

Join us at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT to share your thoughts as the press conference unfolds.
