After UFC 295 lost its historic main event between heavyweight champion Jon Jones, who many consider the greatest MMA fighter of all time, and former champion Stipe Miocic, the UFC was quick to ensure the heavyweight division would not be held up.
Jones severely injured his chest during training for the Miocic bout, which would have been his first title defense at heavyweight, so in its stead the UFC elevated the light heavyweight title bout between ex-light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka and ex-middleweight champion Alex Pereira from the co-main to the main event.
Then, the promotion added a bout between Tom Aspinall and Sergei Pavlovich for the interim heavyweight title as Saturday’s new co-main event. Aspinall and Pavlovich, who are both in the top four of the UFC’s heavyweight rankings, had been on a collision course. Their bout will crown the interim champion who will likely face the winner of Jones versus Miocic (if that fight ever happens).
So fight fans are still in for a treat as two fascinating title bouts headline the card from Madison Square Garden in New York.
