Jon Jones' withdrawal from UFC 295 due to a torn chest tendon has resulted in a reshuffling of the event's lineup. Jiri Prochazka vs. Alex Pereira is now the main event, and Sergei Pavlovich will face Tom Aspinall, who is considered the favorite despite short notice, for the interim Heavyweight Championship. Jones' scheduled fight with Stipe Miocic has been cancelled, leaving Miocic's status in the event unclear. UFC 295 is set for November 11th at Madison Square Garden.
