DANA WHITE sent UFC fans into meltdown by announcing a trio of title fights to end the year.
White took to social media to reveal Jiri Prochazka and Alex Pereira will serve as the co-main to UFC 295 on November 11.
The Madison Square Garden pay-per-view is topped by Jon Jones' first heavyweight title defence against legend Stipe Miocic.
Prochazka won the light-heavyweight crown in 2022 by beating Glover Teixeira but injury forced him to vacate the belt.
Jamahal Hill would go onto win the strap in Prochazka's absence but he was also forced to relinquish it after an injury of his own.
So now Prochazka will get the chance to win back the title he never lost in the octagon against ex-middleweight king Pereira.
