At UFC 295, Prochazka and Pereira put on an exciting fight for the vacant title. Although Prochakza began the fight with a strong performance, Pereira’s relentless leg kicks began to wear him down. In the second round, a powerful left hook from Pereira knocked Prochazka to the ground, resulting in a stoppage that was deemed by some to be early.
