Good luck finding time for a break this weekend. UFC 327 might be the deepest card of the year, packed with exciting fights from start to finish. It all leads to the vacant light heavyweight title bout between Jiri Prochazka and Carlos Ulberg at the Kaseya Center in Miami on Saturday.
The UFC 327 poster is the best evidence for Saturday’s action quota. Prochazka has only seen two scorecards in 38 professional fights. After Alex Pereira vacated the title, Prochazka rediscovered his path to the light heavyweight throne. Ulberg, a technical striker, stands in the former champion’s way. Ulberg leans on the wisdom of reigning featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski and Israel Adesanya as he attempts to join his teammates in the history books.

“I put it this way, I’m climbing a mountain, and I want to get to the top of the mountain,” Ulberg told CBS Sports this week. “I know when I get to that top of that mountain, there’s going to be another mountain. So, for me, I just do what I need to do, handle business. When I get to that top, I’m not really satisfied. I’m not really satisfied, you know? So, I might celebrate, but I know there’s a bigger task to be done.”
Another fun light heavyweight scrap takes place in the co-main event when Paulo Costa takes on Azamat Murzakanov. Costa is making a brief move up to 205 pounds to take on the rising Murzakanov, who has flashed in six Octagon appearances. Costa is coming off an impressive win over Roman Kopylov in July, which ended a two-fight losing skid. Murzakanov has scored five stoppages in his six UFC wins.
Plus, rising American heavyweight Josh Hokit takes on by far his biggest test to date in veteran Curtis Blaydes. And Dominick Reyes looks to get back in the win column when he takes on Johnny Walker at light heavyweight.
