When is Jiri Prochazka vs. Alex Pereira at UFC 295 and how can you watch it? Everything you need to know ahead of their match, which also features Briton Tom Aspinall

Jiri Prochazka and Alex Pereira will face off this weekend in a mouth-watering light-heavyweight showdown.

Prochazka, who has been sidelined for more than a year with a shoulder injury, comes into the fight coming off a win against Glover Teixeira, while Pereira defeated Jan Blachowicz in his light heavyweight debut at UFC 291.

Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic were scheduled to star, but ‘Bones’ was ruled out of the fight after suffering a nasty injury in training.

Dana White revealed that Jones will be sidelined for eight months and that Tom Aspinall versus Sergei Pavlovich will battle for the interim heavyweight title this weekend – which will serve as the co-main event. Aspinall will aim to become only the third Englishman in the promotion to win a title.
