Where is UFC 327?
The event is held at the Kaseya Center in downtown Miami, Florida. Formerly known as the American Airlines Arena, the venue opened in 1999 and is home to the NBA’s Miami Heat. It has a seating capacity of approximately 19,600, including 80 luxury suites. The Kaseya Center has hosted several major UFC events, including UFC 287 in 2023, which drew a sold-out crowd of over 19,000 and recorded a gate of $11.9 million, making it the highest-grossing event in the venue’s history.
Key Contenders
Jiří Procházka (32-5-1) enters as the number two ranked light heavyweight and a former UFC champion. The Czech fighter is known for his aggressive, unorthodox striking style and carries knockout power in both hands, with 28 of his 32 wins coming by KO/TKO. Procházka arrives on a two-fight winning streak, having knocked out Jamahal Hill at UFC 311 in January 2025 and followed up with a third-round stoppage of Khalil Rountree Jr. at UFC 320 in October 2025, earning Performance of the Night and Fight of the Night bonuses for the latter.
Carlos Ulberg (14-1) is the number three ranked light heavyweight and one of the division’s most improved fighters. The New Zealand-born striker, nicknamed “Black Jag”, rides an impressive nine-fight winning streak into his first UFC title shot. Ulberg’s recent run includes victories over former champion Jan Błachowicz, Volkan Oezdemir, and a first-round knockout of Dominick Reyes at UFC Fight Night 260 in September 2025. A training partner of Israel Adesanya at City Kickboxing in Auckland, Ulberg brings elite kickboxing credentials and finishing ability.
Elsewhere on the card, Curtis Blaydes faces unbeaten prospect Josh Hokit at heavyweight, while light heavyweight veterans Dominick Reyes and Johnny Walker meet in what could be a pivotal bout for both fighters. Former Bellator champion Patrício Pitbull takes on Aaron Pico in a compelling featherweight matchup.
