Two of the division’s most prolific finishers in Jiri Prochazka and Carlos Ulberg will meet for the vacant light heavyweight title, which was vacated by Alex Pereira after he moved up to heavyweight. Prochazka, the former champion, won the belt in 2022 but was forced to vacate through injury. He subsequently fought for the title on multiple occasions, both times losing to Pereira by second-round TKO, before bouncing back in 2025 with third-round knockout wins over Khalil Rountree Jr. and Jamahal Hill. Thirty-one of his 32 career wins have come by stoppage, and all his UFC bouts have failed to see the judges’ scorecards. Meanwhile, Ulberg lost his UFC debut in 2021 but has won nine straight since.
