Returning to ‘The Big Apple’ for their annual pay-per-view card in New York City, the Octagon lands on the East Coast for UFC 295 – with Jiri Prochazka and Alex Pereira, headlining before a co-main event clash featuring Sergei Pavlovich and Tom Aspinall as part of a championship doubleheader at Madison Square Garden.
Meeting for vacant light heavyweight gold in New York, former division champion, Prochazka takes on former middleweight champion, Pereira in a blockbuster title fight.
Sidelined through injury since December of last year, Prochazka has yet to return to the Octagon since winning light heavyweight spoils against Glover Teixeira back in June of last year, suffering a catastrophic shoulder injury ahead of an end-of-year rematch with the Brazilian.
