The event was originally scheduled to be headlined by UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic. The former’s injury in a sparring session led him to withdraw from the bout, which prompted the UFC to turn the co-main event of UFC 295, Jiri Prochazka vs. Alex Pereira, into the main event of the night. The main card of the event was stacked with an interim heavyweight title bout between Tom Aspinall and Sergei Pavlovich in the co-main event.

Jiri Prochazka is the former UFC light heavyweight champion who won the title against Glover Teixeira at UFC 275 and was later forced to vacate his belt due to an injury. He made his debut in professional mixed martial arts on April 7, 2012, against Stanislav Futera at GCF 10: Battle in the Cage. Prochazka made quick work of Futera and won via first-round KO. He started his professional mixed martial arts journey with an impressive victory and compiled four consecutive victories before facing his first loss. Prochazka faced Bojan Velickovic on December 9, 2012, at SFC 1: Balkan Fighter Night and lost via first-round TKO, becoming the first professional loss for Jiri Prochazka in professional mixed martial arts. He was cruising on a 13-fight winning streak prior to his showdown with Alex Pereira and now holds a professional record of 29 wins, 4 losses, and 1 draw.

Jiri Prochazka's rival, Alex Pereira, is a former UFC middleweight champion, having made his light heavyweight debut at UFC 291 against Jan Blachowicz, whom he defeated via split decision. Pereira made his professional mixed martial arts debut against Quemuel Ottoni on October 24, 2015. Ottoni submitted Pereira in the third round via rear-naked choke and picked up the win. After losing his first professional fight, Alex Pereira recovered from the loss and established a seven-fight winning streak before losing another bout against Israel Adesanya at UFC 287. He was on a one-fight winning streak and held a professional record of 8 wins and 2 losses before going head-to-head against Jiri Prochazka.
