Hill (12-1) will officially become a former
Ultimate Fighting Championship king the moment Pereira vs.
Prochazka kicks off inside the Octagon on Nov. 11 at Madison Square
Garden in New York City. While “Sweet Dreams” put on an incredible
performance against Glover
Teixeira (33-9) at UFC 283 to claim the vacant heavyweight
title, the Michigan native ruptured his Achilles tendon back in
July while playing a game of pickup basketball.
Considering how Prochazka was quick to let the division move on
when he suffered a disastrous shoulder injury while holding the
belt, Hill took the same route and verbally relinquished his title
with the assurance that he would receive a title shot on his return
regardless of the circumstances.
While Pereira and Prochazka gear up for their upcoming title bout,
Hill is not only focused on making a speedy recovery but also has
an eye on the winner of their anticipated clash. The “Dana White’s
Contender Series” product also confirmed that he will be present
Octagon side on fight night.
In a recent interview with The Schmo, “Sweet Dreams” shared how he
thought the UFC 295 main event could possibly unfold.
“I don’t know if it ends with a knockout, but I see a way where
both men could land and end it with a knockout. I think the
knockout is more probable for Pereira. I think if Prochazka wants
to end it within the distance it will probably be submission.”
The bout will mark Pereira’s second outing as a light heavyweight
mixed martial artist. On the other hand, Prochazka is recovering
from a severe shoulder injury. “BJP” last stepped inside the
Octagon back in June 2022.
UFC 295 will feature another title bout as British heavyweight
sensation Tom
Aspinall takes on Sergei
Pavlovich in a meeting that was put together a little more than
two weeks before the event. With Jones out of his scheduled title
fight with Stipe
Miocic due to a pectoral tear, Aspinall and Pavlovich will now
compete for the interim heavyweight crown.
