Alex Pereira has vacated his UFC light heavyweight championship, paving the way for a title fight between Jiri Prochazka and Carlos Ulberg to headline UFC 327 on April 11 in Miami. Dana White announced the matchup on social media after Pereira hinted at a move to heavyweight, posting his weight at 240lbs. This shakes up the light heavyweight division, with Prochazka returning for the vacant belt and Ulberg earning a surprise shot. Pereira could target a heavyweight title bout against Ciryl Gane amid Tom Aspinall's injury absence. The co-main features Joshua Van vs. Tatsuro Taira, with other bouts like Patrício Pitbull vs. Aaron Pico added.
