The main attraction of UFC 327 in Miami is a fight for the light‑heavyweight title between Jiri Prochazka and Carlos Ulberg. The championship will be contested after Alex Pereira steps away from the belt, likely to pursue a move into the heavyweight division.
Prochazka, who has held the title once before, is set to test his skills against Ulberg, a rising star who has recently knocked out several top contenders. Both fighters sit near the top of the global rankings, with Prochazka at number three and Ulberg at four.
The event also features a co‑main fight between Joshua Van and Tatsura Taira, both champions in the flyweight division. In addition, the card includes new matchups such as Beneil Dariush versus Manuel Torres and Patricio Pitbull against Aaron Pico.
Prochazka’s journey to the title has been eventful: he first captured the belt in 2022 with a dramatic submission win, then lost it after an injury‑related hiatus and was defeated again in a vacant title bout. Despite these setbacks, he has bounced back with two impressive knockouts.
Ulberg’s rise began with a loss in 2021, but he has since gone on an eight‑fight winning streak, highlighted by a first‑round knockout of Dominick Reyes. His performance signals a serious challenge for anyone looking to claim the championship.
