Alex Pereira‘s storied profession continued Saturday night with a second-round interruption of Jiri Prochazka at UFC 295his 2nd title win in 4 octagon bouts.
A regrettable asterisk to the battle was the method the battle was stopped, at 4:08 of Round 2 when referee Marc Goddard actioned in to wave off the bout. Prochazka had actually simply taken a set of tough hooks and a number of elbows to his head from Pereira and was falling back when Goddard actioned in.
Prochazka did not oppose the interruption in his post-fight interview, confessing he was out when he took the shots from Pereira, who defended simply the 2nd time at light heavyweight after catching and losing the middleweight title.
Fighters sounded off on the referee’s choice and result of the battle. Here’s what fighters needed to state about the UFC 295 primary card on Saturday in New York City.

Couple hairy minutes and possible actions right into a heavy counter from Sergei, however in the end speed and an overhand over the leading to the crown gets the job done.#UFC 295Live #UFC 295
