Overview
- The UFC 327 main event on April 11 at Miami’s Kaseya Center will crown a new light heavyweight champion after Dana White confirmed Pereira relinquished the title.
- Prochazka says he will apply nonstop pressure against Ulberg, arguing the New Zealander is less comfortable when forced backward or on the mat.
- Ulberg enters 13-1 with a nine-fight winning streak and six finishes since his lone UFC defeat in 2021.
- Prochazka earned this shot off consecutive knockouts of Jamahal Hill and Khalil Rountree Jr., including a third-round stoppage at UFC 320.
- Prochazka revealed his partner is due to give birth April 13–15, which led him to accept a bout near the date only if it was for a title.
