A new UFC light heavyweight champion will be crowned on Saturday. Former champion Jiri Prochazka and rising contender Carlos Ulberg meet at UFC 327 in Miami to fill the void left by Alex Pereira.

Prochazka ran into a stone wall named "Poatan" in his pursuit to reclaim the title he never lost. Prochazka defeated Glover Teixeira to win the title in one of the greatest fights of all time. However, an injury forced him to vacate the title. By the time the Czech samurai healed, Peireira was ready to begin an iconic light heavyweight conquest. With Pereira moving up to heavyweight, Prochazka's resurrection can begin.

There is still a serious obstacle in Prochazka's way. Ulberg plans to knock out Prochazka and complete his own ascension. The City Kickboxing standout, a teammate of former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, believes he has the technical prowess to capitalize on Prochazka's wild style.

In the co-main event, Paulo Costa returns to action in a light heavyweight fight against Azamat Murzakanov. Costa has struggled late in his career, posting a 2-4 record in his last six appearances. Costa, 34, is coming off an impressive win over Roman Kopylov last July. Murzakanov, meanwhile, is 16-0 so far in his career with 12 knockouts to his name. In fact, the Russian has scored three straight knockouts against an increasingly difficult set of opponents in Alonzo Menifield, Brendson Ribeiro and Aleksandr Rakic.

Another fun bout on Saturday pits former Bellator MMA rivals against each other when veteran featherweights Patricio Pitbull and Aaron Pico collide on the prelims. Pitbull picked up his first UFC win last July when he took a decision over Dan Ige. The former two-division Bellator champion hopes to take out the former highly touted prospect in Pico, who is coming off a devastating knockout loss in his UFC debut agains Lerone Murphy.

The promotion will air live on CBS with a two-hour window featuring both the prelims and a portion of the main card. That window is slated for 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET.

The action goes down from Kaseya Center in Miami, with early prelims at 5:30 p.m. ET, prelims at 7 p.m., and the main card kicking off at 9 p.m. As with every UFC event, the fights will be available for every subscriber on Paramount+.
