Several news items from UFC 327 fight week were reported. Johnny Walker surprised Jiri Prochazka with a gift related to Prochazka's upcoming daughter. Paulo Costa's team posted video showing him struggling significantly to make 93 kg, notable since he previously competed at 84 kg. Costa also reversed his previous statements, now saying he hates Russian fighters and that after Murzakanov, Chimaev will be third on his list. Josh Hockett reportedly dropped his character immediately after filming ended, apologizing to those present. Merab Dvalishvili plans to fight twice more this year despite a broken nose. Both Prochazka and Carlos Ulberg attended the ceremonial weigh-in.
