On November 11, we will bear witness to a spectacular showdown as former UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira steps into the octagon against former light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka. The co-main event of UFC 295 promises fireworks, and it’s all for the coveted vacant light heavyweight championship, previously held by Jamahal Hill.

The announcement of this epic battle was made by none other than UFC CEO Dana White on September 20. While Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic takes center stage in the heavyweight title bout, Pereira and Prochazka will undoubtedly steal the spotlight as they vie for supremacy in the 205-pound division.

Alex Pereira’s journey to this title opportunity is nothing short of remarkable. Since his debut in the UFC, the Brazilian fighter, known as “Poatan,” has accumulated seven fights in total, and astonishingly, three of them have been title fights. Pereira’s rollercoaster ride saw him capture and then relinquish the middleweight strap before making the bold move up to the light heavyweight division. Now, he stands on the precipice of history, aiming to join the elite ranks of two-division champions.

On the flip side, Jiri Prochazka is no stranger to making waves in the UFC. “BJP” stormed into the promotion with two consecutive finishes over highly-ranked opponents, announcing his arrival with authority. His journey reached its zenith in a thrilling title clash against Glover Teixeira, a fight that is etched in the annals of MMA history. Unfortunately, Prochazka was forced to vacate the light heavyweight title earlier this year due to a shoulder injury. However, he returns with a burning desire to recapture the gold and etch his name in the record books as a two-time UFC champion, all in just four fights.

The stakes couldn’t be higher as these two warriors prepare to collide inside the octagon. Pereira’s striking prowess and Prochazka’s unorthodox style promise an electrifying showdown that MMA fans won’t soon forget. UFC 295 is shaping up to be an unforgettable event, and the co-main event between Pereira and Prochazka has all the makings of a classic. November 11 can’t come soon enough, as Madison Square Garden braces itself for an epic clash that will determine the rightful heir to the vacant light heavyweight throne.
