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).

Don’t miss a single second of EPIC face-punching action!

Reigning UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya will defend his title against top contender Jared Cannonier in the main event. “Last Stylebender” will look to lock down his fifth-straight title defense and further cement himself as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport today.

In the co-main event, UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski will defend his title in a trilogy bout with former titleholder Max Holloway. The PPV main card will also feature the Octagon returns of former GLORY champion Alex Pereira and rising bantamweight contender Sean O’Malley.
