Video: Breaking down the UFC 295 title fights at MSG

The UFC will crown new champions in its two heaviest divisions Saturday in New York.

In its penultimate pay-per-view event of 2023, the UFC brings title fights in the light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions to Madison Square Garden in New York. UFC 295 takes place Saturday, and four title hopefuls top the bill.

With champion Jon Jones sidelined due to injury, the co-feature will crown a new interim heavyweight champion. Tom Aspinall and Sergei Pavlovich stepped up on short notice for a massive opportunity in their careers as they both look to grab a piece of UFC gold for the first time.

The main event will see the vacant light heavyweight title go home with a new owner. Former champion Jiri Prochazka will take on former middleweight champion Alex Pereira.

Both fights have the potential to end quickly and violently, but which fight is the more intriguing matchup? Who will leave “The Big Apple” with a title wrapped around their waist?

Our “Spinning Back Clique” of Danny Segura, Dan Tom and Brian “Goze” Garcia answer those questions with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia.

You can watch their discussion in the video above and check out this week’s full episode on YouTube or in podcast form below.
