The UFC announced that former light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka will face rising contender Carlos Ulberg for the vacant light heavyweight title at UFC 327 on April 11, 2026 in Miami. The matchup headlines what is being called arguably the strongest numbered event of 2026, with UFC flyweight champion Joshua Van defending his newly won title against Tatsuro Taira in the co-main event. The card also features a long-overdue fight between Bellator alums Patricio Pitbull and Aaron Pico. The title fight represents a significant opportunity for Ulberg to break into championship contention while Prochazka seeks to reclaim gold in the competitive light heavyweight division.
