Overview
- Jiri Prochazka and Carlos Ulberg, who headline UFC 327 on Saturday in Miami, shared a cordial boat faceoff Monday in South Florida.
- Betting markets list Prochazka as a slight favorite on FanDuel, and a majority of surveyed fighters picked him to win, often by knockout.
- Ulberg’s coach Eugene Bareman says they aim to use Prochazka’s unpredictability against him, calling the same “special powers” a built-in weakness.
- Retired contender Matt Brown questions whether Prochazka’s wild, risk-heavy style can hold up over time and points to Pereira’s wins as a blueprint for disciplined strikers.
- The belt is vacant because Alex Pereira moved to heavyweight, and Prochazka has predicted Pereira will outstrike Ciryl Gane in their June 14 interim title bout at the White House.
