UFC fans in the UK can stay up late tonight as Jiri Prochazka and Alex Pereira collide for the vacant UFC light-heavyweight title in New York. The main card of UFC 295 begins at 3am UK time on Sunday, with ring walks for the headliner expected around 5am.
Prochazka returns after a year on the sidelines due to a serious shoulder injury sustained last November. The Czech fighter vacated his belt to avoid holding up the division and now aims to reclaim it in his first bout since stopping Pereira's teammate Glover Teixeira in June 2022.
Pereira, a former middleweight champion, looks to become a two-weight champion in just his seventh fight for the promotion. The Brazilian lost the middleweight title to Israel Adesanya in April but feels more comfortable competing at his natural weight class.
The co-main event features Tom Aspinall against Sergei Pavlovich for the interim UFC heavyweight title. UK viewers can watch all the action live on TNT Sports as part of their standard subscription.
