Dana White Reveals Headliners for UFC 327
UFC 327 is poised to feature exciting matchups as Dana White recently announced the headliners for the event. The main event will showcase a vacant light heavyweight title fight between Carlos Ulberg and former champion Jiri Prochazka.
Dana White Reveals UFC 327 Headliners
Prochazka steps into the ring after Alex Pereira made the decision to vacate the title. Pereira had reclaimed the championship last year following a decisive first-round knockout of Magomed Ankalaev. His choice to relinquish the title stems from aspirations to become the first-ever three-division UFC champion. In light of this, Ulberg and Prochazka will compete to crown a new champion in the light heavyweight division.
Co-Main Event Details
The co-main event will feature a flyweight title defense by Joshua Van against Tatsuro Taira. This bout marks Van’s first title defense since he defeated Alex Pantoja last December, when an injury led to the fight being called off.
Event Location and Date
UFC 327 will take place at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, on April 11. Tickets are now available for purchase, signaling the anticipation surrounding the event.
Additional Fights on the Card
Alongside the headlining bouts, several notable fights have been confirmed for UFC 327. Key matchups include:
- Beneil Dariush vs. Manuel Torres: This lightweight clash features Dariush, ranked No. 12, coming off a knockout loss to Benoit Saint Denis. Torres, ranked No. 14, enters the fight on a two-fight winning streak with two consecutive first-round TKOs.
- Aaron Pico vs. Patricio Pitbull: In a notable featherweight matchup, Pico returns to the octagon after his knockout loss to Lerone Murphy. Pitbull, a former two-division Bellator champion, will face him in a contest that both fighters have eagerly awaited since their time in Bellator.
