Social media reacts to Alex Pereira’s KO of Jiri Prochazka for vacant title for UFC 295

The light heavyweight division has yet another new champion after Alex Pereira claimed the vacant belt against Jiri Prochazka in Saturday’s UFC 295 headliner.

Former middleweight champ Pereira (9-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) made history with his second divisional UFC title inside seven octagon appearance, defeating Prochazka (29-4-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) by second-round knockout in the pay-per-view headliner at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Pereira will attempt to bring stability back to the 205-pound weight class, and could possibly be set up to face Jamahal Hill, who also vacated the belt due to injury, in his next bout.

Check below for the top X (formerly Twitter) reactions to Pereira’s victory over Prochazka at UFC 295.
