The UFC’s penultimate numbered event of the year, UFC 295 from Madison Square Garden in New York, proved to be arguably the best of the bunch.
Two new champions were crowned to close out a lineup that saw eight stoppages in 13 fights. In the main event, Alex Pereira (9-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) picked up the vacant light heavyweight title with a second-round knockout of Jiri Prochazka (29-4-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC), while Tom Aspinall (14-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) claimed the interim heavyweight strap in the co-main event with a 69-second knockout of Sergei Pavlovich (17-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC).
