UFC 327 takes place this weekend, with Jiri Prochazka and Carlos Ulberg clashing in a title-fight main event.

The vacant light-heavyweight belt will be up for grabs at the Kaseya Center in Miami, where former champion Prochazka aims to kickstart a second title reign. To do so, the Czech must overcome New Zealand’s rising contender Ulberg, who has lost just once as a professional.

The title at 205lb was left vacant by Alex Pereira in February, as Prochazka’s two-time conqueror prepares to fight for the interim heavyweight belt at the White House in June.

This weekend was also due to bring Joshua Van’s first defence of the flyweight title, but an injury to the Myanmar youngster has delayed his fight with Tatsuro Taira until May.
