Several noteworthy developments emerged around UFC 327. Johnny Walker gave Jiri Prochazka a surprise gift related to the Czech fighter's upcoming daughter. Jon Jones declared he has hung up his gloves and is now only "businessman Jon Jones," not "fighter Jon Jones." Paulo Costa reversed his previous position, stating he now hates Russian fighters and that after dealing with "this fat guy" (presumably Murzakanov), Chimaev will be third on his list. Video from Costa's team showed him struggling significantly to make 93 kg, notably higher than his previous 84 kg fighting weight. Josh Hockit reportedly broke character after filming ended and apologized to those present for his antics.
