TWO TITLES UP FOR GRABS! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) makes its highly anticipated return to Madison Square Garden in New York City on Sat., Nov. 11, 2023, with a re-worked pay-per-view (PPV) main card. In the ESPN+-streamed main event, former 205-pound roost-ruler, Jiri Prochazka, will lock horns with ex-Middleweight kingpin, Alex Pereira, for the promotion’s vacant Light Heavyweight title. In UFC 295’s co-main event, top-ranked Heavyweight contenders, Sergei Pavlovich (No. 2) and Tom Aspinall (No. 4), will collide for the interim strap after division champion, Jon Jones, was injured with a torn pectoral muscle and forced to withdraw (video).

This one didn’t last long as Turner used his long reach to land a stiff right hand. Riddell was hurt and Turner was able to grab a hold of his neck and drag the action to the canvas. From there, Turner tightened his choke from full mount and forced Riddell to tap for the second time in his professional career.

Turner, 27, now has five finishes in a row dating back to the start of 2020. The former Bellator MMA fighter has looked like a different animal of late and is clearly one of the better contenders on the rise in UFC’s stacked lightweight division. This fast victory should allow Turner to land another fight pretty quickly and one against an even bigger name than Riddell.
