This Saturday, Madison Square Garden in New York will host UFC 295. After early preliminary action on ESPN+ and preliminaries on ESPN news, the main card is televised on pay-per-view.
The main event features a 205-pound title fight between former middleweight champion Alex Pereira (8-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) and former light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka (29-3-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC). Pereira is going to try to become the newest two-division champion in the UFC.
In the co-feature, champion Jon Jones is vying for the interim heavyweight title against Tom Aspinall (13-3 MMA, 6-1 UFC) after the former suffered an injury during preparation for his bout with Stipe Miocic, the original main event on the card.
“Embedded”‘s fifth episode tracks the featured fighters as they prepare for fight week. Will this fight week be good enough to get you glued to your seats?
In the most recent UFC 295 Embedded, Tom Aspinall practices, several fighters sign posters, Alex Peirera trains with his sons and plays UFC 5 on his video game, and more.
Twenty-five veterans, courtesy of UFC, as well as members of the armed forces who will exit the main card alongside selected athletes, will be present at UFC 295: PROCHÁZKA vs. PEREIRA. Additionally, UFC commentator Laura Sanko will speak with veterans and members of the armed forces for Quick Hits, a unique live segment that airs on UFC’s social media channels and includes interviews with personalities, UFC athletes, and other special guests.
Additionally, there will be more branding of partners with ties to the military and veterans on the iconic Octagon® canvas. These partners include Origin, Black Rifle Coffee Company, DAV (Disabled American Veterans), Origin, and the Air National Guard.
Furthermore, the UFC has decided to contribute significantly to three prominent veterans’ charities: the Special Forces Charitable Trust, Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors, and the HunterSeven Foundation, which spearheads research on military exposures and their long- and short-term effects on the health of post-9/11 veterans.
