UFC 303 Preview for Fight Night

Prochazka previously won the title at UFC 275 in a remarkable fight against Glover Teixeira, who is Pereira’s friend and MMA mentor. However, Prochazka had to vacate the title due to injury before making a single defense. His comeback fight was against Pereira for the vacant title, which Pereira won by TKO in the second round.

Although the undercard may lack big-name fighters due to the original focus on McGregor, it still promises plenty of exciting action. Rising middleweight contender Joe Pfyer aims to get back on track in a preliminary bout against Marc-Andre Barriault. An intriguing welterweight contest between rising contenders Ian Machado Garry and Michael “Venom” Page is also scheduled. Additionally, a late addition to the card sees Roman Dolidze moving up to light heavyweight to challenge veteran Anthony Smith.
