UFC 295: Procházka vs. Pereira

Alex Pereira became the 9th fighter in UFC history to win two division titles after he defeated Jiří Procházka in the main event of UFC 295 inside the Madison Square Garden in New York. “Poatan” timed a picture-perfect left hook counter to “BJP,” and it was the beginning of the end for him as the Brazilian pounced away with multiple elbows to the side of the head of Procházka that forced the referee to stop the match. It was only Pereira’s 9th MMA career victory and 6th win under the UFC, which makes this achievement even more impressive.
