At the UFC 327 press conference held on April 9, 2026, in Miami, Florida, Jiri Prochazka (Czech Republic) and Carlos Ulberg (New Zealand) faced off in an intense encounter as they prepare for their main event fight. Both fighters are competing for the vacant UFC light heavyweight title after Alex Pereira vacated the belt to pursue a championship in the heavyweight division. Prochazka, a former champion, is eager to reclaim his title, while Ulberg aims to extend his impressive nine-fight win streak and secure his first title in the UFC. During the press conference, Prochazka was met with enthusiastic cheers from the crowd, contrasting with the boos directed at Ulberg when he spoke. Despite the palpable tension, both fighters maintained professionalism, shaking hands before their face-off, which was closely monitored by UFC CEO Dana White. UFC 327 will air on Paramount+ with the main card starting at 9 p.m. ET on Saturday.
