In two weeks, the UFC returns to the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York. Unfortunately, the main event bout between Stipe Miocic and Jon Jones was canceled after Jones got injured during training. This has meant that the previous co-main event between Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka for the vacant light heavyweight title has been moved up to the main event.
