Who is on the UFC 295 card?

UFC 295 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated events in the history of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The event will take place on November 11, 2023, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The fight card features some of the biggest names in the sport, including, Stipe Miocic, Jiri Prochazka, Alex Pereira, Sergei Pavlovich, and Tom Aspinall.

The main event of UFC 295 will feature Jon Jones defending his UFC heavyweight title against former champion Stipe Miocic. Jones, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters of all time, vacated his light heavyweight title in 2020 and became a two-division champion earlier this year. Miocic, on the other hand, lost his heavyweight title to Francis Ngannou in March and is looking to regain his status as the top fighter in the division.

The co-main event of UFC 295 will feature Jiri Prochazka taking on Alex Pereira for the UFC light heavyweight title. Prochazka, who is coming off an impressive win over Dominick Reyes, will be looking to defend his title against the dangerous striker Pereira. Pereira, who is a former two-division champion in kickboxing, is making his UFC debut and is expected to be a tough test for Prochazka.

In addition to the main and co-main events, UFC 295 will also feature a heavyweight interim title bout between Sergei Pavlovich and Tom Aspinall. Pavlovich, who is coming off a win over Tai Tuivasa, is looking to establish himself as a top contender in the division. Aspinall, on the other hand, is undefeated in the UFC and is coming off a submission win over Augusto Sakai.

Other notable fights on the UFC 295 card include a featherweight bout between two top contenders, whose names are yet to be revealed. The event is also expected to feature a number of exciting fights featuring some of the rising stars in the sport.

Despite the star-studded lineup, there have been some controversies leading up to UFC 295. Dana White, the president of the UFC, recently revealed that he did not offer Stipe Miocic an interim title fight after Jon Jones pulled out of their scheduled bout. This decision has been criticized by some fans and analysts, who believe that Miocic deserves a shot at the interim title.

Nevertheless, UFC 295 is expected to be a huge success, with fans around the world eagerly anticipating the event. With so many talented fighters on the card, it's sure to be a night to remember for MMA fans everywhere. So mark your calendars, set your reminders, and get ready for one of the biggest events in UFC history.
