UFC 327: Procházka vs. Ulberg was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on April 11, 2026 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, United States.[2]

Background

[edit]

The event marked the promotion's fifth visit to Miami and first since UFC 314 in April 2025.[2]

A UFC Light Heavyweight Championship bout for the vacant title between former champion Jiří Procházka (also the inaugural Rizin Light Heavyweight Champion) and Carlos Ulberg headlined the event, as current two-time champion Alex Pereira (also former UFC Middleweight Champion, former Glory Middleweight and Light Heavyweight Champion) vacated the title in order to challenge for the interim UFC Heavyweight Championship.[3][4]

A UFC Flyweight Championship bout between current champion Joshua Van and Tatsuro Taira was scheduled to take place at the event.[5] However, one week before the event, Van withdrew due to a knee injury, so the bout was moved to UFC 328, which is scheduled to take place one month later.[6][7][8] The pairing was briefly linked to UFC 302 in June 2024 before being shifted to UFC on ESPN: Perez vs. Taira two weeks later, where Taira faced a different opponent and Van's bout was ultimately cancelled.[9][10][11]

A flyweight bout between Road to UFC Season 3 flyweight winner Choi Dong-hun and undefeated prospect André Lima was scheduled for this event.[12] However, for undisclosed reasons, the bout was moved to UFC Fight Night: Burns vs. Malott, which is scheduled to take place one week later.[13]

A middleweight bout between Kyle Daukaus and Vicente Luque was scheduled at this event.[14] However, Daukaus withdrew after being re‑scheduled for the UFC Freedom 250 event in June and was replaced by former interim UFC Middleweight Championship challenger (also The Ultimate Fighter: Team Jones vs. Team Sonnen middleweight winner) Kelvin Gastelum.[3][15]

A lightweight bout between Nazim Sadykhov and MarQuel Mederos was scheduled for the event.[16] The two were originally expected to meet at UFC on ESPN: Namajunas vs. Cortez in July 2024 after Mederos stepped in as a replacement fighter, but he withdrew and the bout was scrapped.[17] In turn, Sadykhov pulled out in late March due to injury and was replaced by Chris Padilla.[18] At the weigh-ins, Padilla weighed in at 158 pounds, two pounds over the lightweight non-title fight limit. The bout proceeded at catchweight and he was fined 20 percent of his purse, which went to Mederos.[19]

Beneil Dariush and Manuel Torres were expected to meet in a lightweight bout.[20] However, Torres pulled out due to injury, leaving Dariush without an opponent. As a result, Dariush was removed from the card and was re‑scheduled to compete at UFC Fight Night: Della Maddalena vs. Prates one month later against Quillan Salkilld.[21][22]

A welterweight bout between Francisco Prado and promotional newcomer Christopher Alvidrez was originally scheduled for this event.[23] However, Alvidrez withdrew for unknown reasons and was replaced by Charles Radtke.[24]
