Alex Pereira got the job done on Saturday night at UFC 295 as he scored a TKO victory over Jiri Prochazka in the final minute of the second round to become the new undisputed light heavyweight champion. Pereira's win was not without controversy. The finish came shortly after Prochazka was badly rocked by a Pereira's strike, as a lot of fans and fighters disagreed with Mark Goddard stopping the action as Pereira was poised to rain down more blows. With the win, Pereira has entered the UFC history books as the promotion's ninth fighter to become a two-weight world champion. In 9:08 of action, Pereira landed 38 significant strikes. Pereira's next bout will likely be a fight against Jamahal Hill, who initially held the light heavyweight crown but had to relinquish it due to injury.--Alen Kurbasic - RotoBaller
