Pimblett considers the twins to be fighters even before birth. He even alluded that the twins had a face-off even inside the womb. Many fighters want their children to be fighters as well. Conor McGregor recently gave boxing lessons to his elder son. The video of the lessons went viral on social media.

In the interview, Covington went off at Pimblett and others. This is what he said in the interview:

Look at the people that are talking about me. These are guys that have never done anything in this sport. They're absolute nobodies.... What have they done? Have they headlined pay-per-views? Have they won world championship title fights? What are their credentials? Because I'm already a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

The fans highly anticipate the press conference at UFC 296. This is mainly due to the presence of Covington, Pimblett, and Ian Garry. All three are expert trash talkers of the game. Stephen Thompson recently said that he and Shavkat Rakhmonov will be at UFC 296 just for the ride. Thompson felt his fellow main card fighters will steal the show at the press conference.
