After initially meeting in Madison Square Garden at UFC 295, Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka will compete in a short-notice rematch on June 29.
Pereira (10-2, 7-1 in UFC) won the vacant 205-pound title in their first fight in November 2023. Pereira enters the rematch in an unfavorable position, still recovering from a broken toe from his last training camp in preparation for a fight in April against Jamahal Hill.
Prochazka (30-4-1, 4-1 in UFC) also last competed on UFC 300, knocking out Aleksandar Rakic in the second round after losing the first.
