Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heads to the Big Apple for one of the biggest fights of the month with UFC 295: Procházka vs. Pereira. Live from Madison Square Garden, tonight’s event is the first time the UFC has visited New York City since November of 2022 (UFC 281) and the seventh trip in the promotion’s history.
