"Alex Pereira Dominates UFC 295 with Second Belt Win and TKO Victory"

Alex Pereira becomes the ninth two-division champion in UFC history by defeating Jiri Prochazka via TKO in the second round at UFC 295. Pereira, who previously held the middleweight title, captured the vacant UFC light heavyweight championship, making him the fastest fighter to win titles in two weight classes in just seven UFC fights. He called out Israel Adesanya for a rematch, but it is more likely that Jamahal Hill will be his next opponent. Pereira's victory brings stability to the light heavyweight division, which has seen multiple title changes due to injuries and voluntary relinquishments.
