"Did someone say FOTN?" - Fiery lightweight clash announcement at UFC 295 amps up fans

Although UFC 295 is a couple of months down the road, fans are eagerly anticipating the November 11 event at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The main attraction will see Jon Jones defending his heavyweight championship against Stipe Miocic.

In the co-main event, the vacant light heavyweight title will be up for grabs as former 205-pound champion Jirí Procházka faces off against former middleweight champion Alex Pereira.

As per a recent update by combat sports journalist Marcel Dorff, a lightweight showdown featuring Matt Frevola and Benoit Saint-Denis is targeted to take place at UFC 295.

'The Steamrolla' has won his last three fights, all by first-round knockout. Frevola's most recent victory was in May at UFC 288 against Drew Dober.

Meanwhile, Saint-Denis is on a four-fight win streak. 'God of War' secured two wins via submissions and as much through knockouts. The 27-year-old Frenchman is coming off a second-round TKO win over Thiago Moises at UFC Paris earlier this month.

The 155-pound scrap is anticipated to be an exciting showdown, with fans showing their enthusiasm through an array of reactions.
