UFC 295 card: Prochazka vs Pereira headlines after Aspinall and Pavlovich clash
The light-heavyweight title and interim heavyweight belt will be on the line at UFC 295 this weekend, after a shake-up to the card at Madison Square Garden. The original main event pitted heavyweight champion Jon Jones against divisional great Stipe Miocic, but an injury to Jones led to the cancellation of that bout. It also led to the announcement of Tom Aspinall vs Sergei Pavlovich, with the Briton and Russian now squaring off for the interim title on Saturday. That is the new co-main event, while the initial co-main event has been elevated to headline status, as Jiri Prochazka fights Alex Pereira for the vacant light-heavyweight belt. Prochazka, the UFC’s first ever Czech champion, had to relinquish the title due to injury in 2022, and he will bid to regain it here. Meanwhile, Pereira is going for two-weight-champion status, having held the middleweight title from November 2022 until this April. Here’s all you need to know.

Manhunt for suspects after two Orlando police officers shot while stopping car linked to homicide
Two Florida police officers were shot and critically injured during an Orlando traffic stop involving a car linked to a homicide case. The Orlando Police Department officers stopped a vehicle around 11pm Friday as part of an investigation of a Miami homicide and were shot by a suspect in the car, Orlando Police Chief Eric Smith said during a press conference early Saturday. The officers, who were not immediately identified, were transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center, Mr Smith said. The suspect carjacked another vehicle and police pursued, but did not immediately catch the suspect. A search for two suspects was ongoing early Saturday, Mr Smith said. “This is a sad day for our department,” Mr Smith said. “For the suspects out there, we will find you and you will be brought to justice.” At around 9.30am local time, Orlando Police put out a press release advising of a large police presence in the 5900 block of Caravan Court that is connected to the search for the shooting suspects. WESH reported that officers were seen walking into a Holiday Inn, where guests were forced to evacuate their rooms amid “loud sounds”. A news conference was scheduled for 12.30pm.
