#500 - UFC 295: PROCHAZKA VS PEREIRA & ASPINALL VS PAVLOVICH | BEST FIGHT PICKS | HALF THE BATTLE

Jirí Procházka will be looking to regain the UFC light heavyweight title he

surrendered last year because of injury when he faces former middleweight champ Alex Pereira in the main event of UFC 295 on Saturday in New York.

The main card at Madison Square Garden will be on ESPN+ pay-per-view starting at 10 p.m. ET, with prelims on ESPN News and ESPN+ at 8 p.m. and early prelims on ESPN+ at 6 p.m.

The co-main event is a fight for an interim heavyweight title between Sergei Pavlovich and Tom Aspinall.

Procházka (29-3-1) last fought in June 2022, when he dethroned Pereira training partner Glover Teixeira via fifth-round submission. It was Procházka's 13th consecutive victory.

Pereira (8-2) beat former champ Jan Blachowicz by split decision in July in his 205-pound debut. Pereira is No. 2 in the ESPN light heavyweight rankings.

What are the storylines behind the top fights at UFC 295, which lost its original main event when heavyweight champ Jon Jones suffered an injury in training and had to pull out of his defense against ex-champ Stipe Miocic? How are experts breaking down the fights? What do the fighters have to say? Here is the fight card, how to watch it and a collection of all of the UFC 295 essentials.

Sergei Pavlovich vs. Tom Aspinall by the numbers
6.31. Without question, Pavlovich will be the most dangerous striker that Aspinall has faced. The Russian might just be the most dangerous striker in UFC history. While averaging only 21.7 total strikes landed per fight, Pavlovich averages 6.31 knockdowns per 15 minutes. That is the highest rate in the promotion's history and more than two knockdowns more than the next fighter. Drew McFedries has the second-best knockdown rate at 4.27. Aspinall has the fifth-best rate at 2.78.DCHCGB XFGD UFC

A few years ago, Andrade probably would’ve been favored to stop the takedown and batter Dern standing, but at this point, the veteran might be close to the end. She’s lost her last three, and two of those losses have come via submission. With that in mind, the smart pick is Dern via tap-out.

In a lightweight clash, Matt Frevola faces Benoit Saint-Denis. This one promises to be exciting, as neither man tends to back down from a brawl. Frevola is on a three-fight win streak, while Saint-Denis is riding four in a row. That means that the winner could rise up into the rankings, too.

So who will take it? Saint-Denis looks like the better grappler. A large 155lber, when he gets his opponents down he seems capable of doing serious damage, and he dealt with Thiago Moises in impressive fashion last time out.

Frevola is a little wilder, but he’s no less dangerous, holding wins over both Jalin Turner and Drew Dober. However, he lacks the brute strength of ‘BSD’ and isn’t that durable. Therefore, the pick is Saint-Denis via TKO.

One of them is arguably the hardest-hitting non-heavyweight of all time, while the other boasts of a style he’s all but crafted himself.

Regardless, we don’t see how the fight goes the distance. If it does, odds are at +370 with Caesars to do so. However, if we have to pick one to win by KO/TKO, we’re going for the former middleweight king, Pereira. 

The betting odds for Prochazka vs. Pereira are understandably close. Pereira's power and technical acumen could cripple Prochazka's wild style. Prochazka has the athleticism and creativity to knock out Pereira, who was hurt in both Adesanya fights. Interestingly, both fighters highlighted their opponent's experience -- not specific skills -- as their most dangerous weapon.

"It's what we talked about before, skills and experience," Prochazka said. "He has high-level experience in kickboxing. The specialty is that he turns his kickboxing to an MMA style. He found a way to do that. Everybody has some style that they fight with. I have my style. For this fight with Alex, I had to change a little bit. Especially after my last fight with Glover. There were a lot of mistakes that I had to change."

Ever since Jon Jones vacated the Light Heavyweight title in Aug. 2020, the division has been an absolute mess. Jan Blachowicz won the strap shortly after “Bones’” decision to leave it behind, defeating Dominick Reyes via knockout at UFC 253 (see it here), and then defended it against Israel Adesanya at UFC 259. That was the last time the belt was successfully defended, marking the beginning of a tumultuous time in the 205-pound weight class.

Pereira (8-2) is early into his mixed martial arts journey yet on the verge of becoming a two-division champion in two separate sports. Pereira and longtime rival Israel Adesanya are both Glory kickboxing veterans. Their striking quality is arguably the best in UFC history, but it's not only value acquired from their time there. Pereira credits his kickboxing days for giving him the psychological edge necessary to become UFC middleweight champion in just eight MMA fights.

"It's very fortunate that I was able to get so much experience. It makes a big difference," Pereira told CBS Sports. "You have a young guy and you throw him into an arena with a lot of people watching a big show. There are so many things involved. It plays a part.

Although the UFC odds are quite high for this one and although many of the UFC predictions out there probably stick to a knockout, we have to analyze the way Prochazka won the title the first time around.

The former champion locked in a submission against one of the best-ever jiu-jitsu specialists in MMA history, Glover Teixeira. In fact, to put in perspective how crazy that finish was, Prochazka was +1600 to win via submission against the Brazilian champion.

He is now +950 to do so this Saturday, which mainly comes down to the fact Pereira is nowhere near the level of Teixeira on the ground.

"But the fact I had Glory for venues with so many people. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Sometimes people cheered for me. Sometimes people cheered against me. That actually broke me down a little bit in a good way for me to come in and do what I did." 

Pereira's immediate success in MMA is evidence that Bo Nickal, who is among the most successful collegiate wrestlers in history, is not a "Contender Series" success story but a marketing device. Much like Pereira, it's the experience that Nickal accrued elsewhere that would have ultimately led him to the UFC.

In truth, you can pick one of either Pereira or Prochazka to win via KO/TKO, as both of them hold equal weight in this fight.

Just two years and six fights into his UFC journey, the former two-division Glory kickboxing champion is just days away from potentially securing a second UFC title in as many weight divisions. It's insane to think about considering Pereira was 33 when he made the full-time switch to MMA despite having just three pro fights (dating back to 2016) on his resume. 

There are definitely some question marks on Pavlovich. His lone defeat came back in 2018, when Alistair Overeem grounded and pounded him into defeat. Since then, he hasn’t really gone to the ground, and because he’s finished all of his foes so quickly, we don’t really know if he’s improved there.

Likewise, his cardio is also a big question mark, purely because he simply hasn’t left the first round.

Aspinall doesn’t have the big name wins of Pavlovich, but he’s arguably a little more proven. He’s finished six opponents in the octagon, knocking out the likes of Marcin Tybura and Sergei Spivac and submitting Alexander Volkov and Andrei Arlovski.

Yet, the quiet and humble Brazilian slugger has enjoyed incredible success in such a short period. For all of the recent talk about Francis Ngannou's switch to boxing, and a performance against Tyson Fury that suggests a potentially bright future, Pereira is the real two-sport combat freak. And now "Poatan" has the chance to add the always dangerous Prochazka to the list of current or former UFC champions he has defeated, which also includes Sean Strickland, Adesanya and Jan Blachowicz.   

Luckily for Prochazka, the all gas and no brakes Czech kickboxer, chaos is what he has been accustomed to through just three UFC fights. The longtime RIZIN veteran never met a bout he couldn't turn into a fan-friendly brawl, complete with explosive strikes and very little thought of defense. 

But Prochazka's style has been effective as he currently rides a 13-fight win streak in his return from vacating the 205-pound UFC title he won by submitting Glover Teixeira, the mentor and trainer of Pereira, in their fight of the year at UFC 275. 

Prochazka's injury, however, created a frantic timeline for the division. Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev fought to a disappointing draw for the vacant title in December before Jamahal Hill defeated Texeira for the belt one month later, only to then vacate it due to his own injury over the summer. One could forgive UFC fans for not having any clue who the best 205-pound fighter in the promotion actually is.  

The native of Manchester is a huge heavyweight, standing at 6’5” and weighing nearly 260 pounds. However, he moves like a much smaller man, and arguably has a smoother boxing game than Pavlovich even if he lacks the ruthless power.

UFC 295 live stream results, play-by-play-updates: Event headliners Jiri Prochazka and Alex Pereira will battle for the vacant light heavyweight strap, not long after Sergei Pavlovich and Tom Aspinall hook ‘em up for the interim 265-pound title in UFC 295’s heavyweight co-main event.
