The UFC has added three more title fights to its upcoming, pay-per-view events in November and December.

Recently, UFC President Dana White announced that former light-heayvweight champ Jiri Prochazka (29-3-1) will battle former middleweight champ Alex Pereira (8-2) at UFC 295, November 11th. The fight will be for the vacant light-heavyweight title, which Jamahal Hill vacated earlier this year due to an Achilles tendon injury.

Prochazka will be competing for the first time since he defeated Glover Teixeira for the title in June, 2022. Prochazka ended up vacating the belt, however, after incurring a serious shoulder injury.

In addition, White announced that welterweight champion Leon Edwards (20-3) will take on Colby Covington (17-3) at UFC 296, December 16th. Flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja (26-5) will battle Brandon Royval (15-6) in the co-headliner.

UFC 295 will be hosted by Madison Square Gardens in New York City and UFC 296 will take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
