Jiri Prochazka weighed in at 92.07 kg (203 lbs) while Carlos Ulberg came in at 92.53 kg (204 lbs), both making weight for their light heavyweight bout.

Jiri Prochazka and Carlos Ulberg are officially set to collide in the UFC 327 main event after both fighters cleared the scales at Thursday's weigh-in ceremony. Prochazka came in at 203 pounds (92.07 kg) and Ulberg weighed 204 pounds (92.53 kg), with both men comfortably inside the light heavyweight limit. The bout is scheduled to take place Friday, April 11.
Prochazka, 33, enters the contest ranked second in the light heavyweight division carrying a record of 32-6-1. The Czech Republic native trains out of Jetsaam Gym Brno and stands six-foot-three with a remarkable 80-inch reach. He lands 5.69 significant strikes per minute at 55 percent accuracy, making him one of the more prolific offensive fighters in the division.
Ulberg, nicknamed "Black Jag," holds the number-three ranking at 185 centimeters tall with a record of 15-1-0. The 35-year-old New Zealander fights out of the decorated City Kickboxing camp and actually edges Prochazka in striking output, landing 6.54 significant strikes per minute at the same 55 percent accuracy rate. His 77-inch reach complements a physical profile that sets up a genuinely competitive stand-up battle.
Why it matters
- The top two ranked light heavyweights meet, meaning the winner will be firmly positioned as the leading title contender in the division.
- Both fighters carry near-identical striking accuracy figures, but Ulberg's higher volume output against Prochazka's longer reach creates a compelling stylistic tension.
- Neither man shows a heavy grappling tendency, pointing toward a fight that will likely be decided on the feet.
