Two Exciting Matchups With Top-Ranked Fighters Added To The UFC 295 Fight Card

Four top-ranked fighters have been added for two exciting bouts for the UFC 295 pay-per-view event. The highly anticipated card will take place at Madison Square Garden in New York City on November 11. It’s highly touted to be one of the most eagerly awaited fight cards of 2023. 

UFC 295 will be headlined by a heavyweight title fight between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic. With two of the most celebrated and decorated fighters in MMA going up against each other, many expect their fight to be an absolute barnburner. There are also murmurs of both veterans potentially calling it a career after their showdown. 

To add to the excitement, it was recently reported that top-ranked middleweight contender Derek Brunson has been booked against Roman Dolidze for UFC 295. Brunson will go into this contest on a two-fight losing slide. He lost to Jared Cannonier and Marvin Vettori. He lost via TKO on both outings and was on a five-fight win streak before that. 

Meanwhile, Dolidze is also coming off a unanimous decision loss against Vettori at UFC 286. Prior to his loss against ‘The Italian Dream,’ Roman Dolidze was on a four-fight winning streak. His incredible unbeaten run included wins over Jack Hermansson and Phil Hawes. 

On the other hand, Steve Erceg and Matt Schnell have been rebooked against each other for an exciting flyweight bout. The two fighters were initially meant to fight at UFC 289. However, their fight failed to materialize after Schnell pulled out. Erceg then made his promotional debut against David Dvorak and emerged victorious via unanimous decision. 

A women’s strawweight contest between Jessica Andrade and Mackenzie Dern will serve at UFC 295’s co-main event. Elsewhere on the card, Joshua Van will face Kevin Borjas in a flyweight contest.
