Jiri Prochazka and Alex Pereira are set to duel in a highly anticipated UFC main event tonight, vying for the vacant light-heavyweight title.
The original headline bout at Madison Square Garden was supposed to feature heavyweight champion Jon Jones against Stipe Miocic, but an injury to Jones has led to the elevation of the initial co-main event.
The match will showcase former champion Prochazka, who relinquished the light-heavyweight belt due to injury last year, squaring off against ex-middleweight champ Pereira in a compelling showdown of striking specialists.
In the new co-main event of UFC 295, Britain’s Tom Aspinall and Russia’s Sergei Pavlovich will vie for the interim heavyweight title, with the victor in line to challenge Jones in 2024 – potentially leaving former champion Miocic out in the cold.
