UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira thinks Israel Adesanya's hiatus would be "waste of talent"

Fernando Quiles - November 12, 2023

Newly-minted UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira believes it would be a shame if Israel Adesanya goes through with a hiatus for as long as he’s indicated. Pereira surprised many by calling out Adesanya following his second-round TKO victory over Jiri Prochazka in the main event of UFC 295. Prochazka was floored by a counter hook from Pereira, who finished the fight with elbows to the head. The bout was contested for vacant UFC light heavyweight gold.

Jiri Prochazka has released a video statement following his TKO loss to Alex Pereira in the main event of UFC 295. Prochazka and Pereira competed for the vacant UFC Light Heavyweight Championship on Saturday night (November 11). Jamahal Hill vacated the 205-pound gold due to a ruptured Achilles. Prochazka, who had to vacate the light heavyweight title himself, was looking to become a two-time champion. It wasn’t meant to be this time, as Pereira dropped Prochazka with a counter hook and followed it up with elbows to the head. Referee Marc Godard had seen enough waved the fight off.

Mackenzie Dern is in good spirits following her UFC 295 TKO loss to Jessica Andrade. Dern was hoping to score a big win over a former UFC women’s strawweight champion inside Madison Square Garden in New York City. Things did not end the way Dern envisioned. Andrade returned to form with her devastating power punching. While Dern hung in tough, she ate some clean shots and was dropped before the referee had seen enough and called a halt to the fight in round two.

Fernando Quiles - November 12, 2023

It is quite clear that UFC CEO Dana White has no plans doing business of any kind with PFL MMA. Francis Ngannou’s stock has soared in the world of boxing after he went the distance with Tyson Fury. He almost defeated Fury at his own game. While Ngannou is enjoying great success outside of the UFC, one of the downfalls is that the lone appealing MMA fight for him is against Jon Jones.

UFC 295 Bonus Report: Seven fighters take home an extra $50k

Chris Taylor - November 11, 2023

The Octagon returned to Madison Square Garden for tonight’s UFC 295 event, a thirteen-bout fight card headlined by Jiri Procházka vs. Alex Pereira. The highly anticipated light heavyweight title fight proved to be the thrilling back and forth affair that most fight fans were hoping for. Alex Pereira got off to a strong start thanks to some heavy low kicks, but Jiri Procházka was able to score a takedown midway through the opening round and was able to control the Brazilian from the position. Then, in round two, Procházka appeared to hurt Pereira with a big flurry. However, ‘Poatan’ found a home for his classic left hook which quickly turned the tide. After landing some heavy elbows to the head, Pereira sent Jiri crashing to the floor. The referee quickly stepped in and called a stop to the action.
