However, the Czech fighter later vacated the belt following a shoulder injury to undergo surgery. After more than a year on the shelf, 'BJP' will return to action hoping to reclaim the 205-pound crown and maintain his record of being unbeaten inside the UFC octagon.

Alex Pereira, meanwhile, made his light heavyweight debut earlier this year, defeating former divisional champion Jan Blachowicz via split decision. 'Poatan' will look to make history by becoming the next two-weight champion when he returns to the octagon on Saturday.

UFC Fight Tonight: Who else is fighting on the UFC 295: Prochazka vs. Pereira card?

The original main event for UFC 295 pitted reigning heavyweight champ Jon Jones against former long-time divisional king Stipe Miocic. However, an injury to 'Bones' resulted in the cancellation of the fight. It led the UFC to announce Sergei Pavlovich vs. Tom Aspinall, which now serves as the night's co-main event with the interim heavyweight title at stake.

Since returning from knee surgery, Aspinall obliterated Marcin Tybura at UFC London in July, picking up his 12th career first-round finish.
