Carlos Ulberg became the newest UFC light heavyweight champion last night (Sat., April 11, 2026) at UFC 327 LIVE on CBS/Paramount+ from inside Kaseya Center in Miami, Fla., pushing his unbeaten streak to 10 with a spectacular comeback knockout finish over former division titleholder Jiri Prochazka. In co-main event action, Paulo Costa made a successful return to light heavyweight with a brutal head kick knockout win over the previously undefeated Azamat Murzakanov.
In addition to the light heavyweight
headliner, UFC 327 featured one of the most stacked cards of 2026 thus far. This included current contenders, UFC record holders, one especially obnoxious heavyweight, and the greatest Bellator fight that never happened. Check out some of the action below and let us know which performances really stood out the most:
- Former welterweight contender Vicente Luque turned in a sensational move to middleweight with an early submission finish over Kelvin Gastelum (watch it HERE)
- Tatiana Suarez looked better than ever in becoming the first women’s fighter to finish strawweight veteran Loopy Godinez with a second-round submission (check it out HERE)
- Mateusz Gamrot returned to the win column with a masterclass submission win over lightweight Esteban Ribovics and then called out Diego Lopes post-fight
- Rising heavyweight contender Josh Hokit turned in such a monster win over No. 5-ranked contender Curtis Blaydes that he landed himself a spot on the UFC White House card before the night ended
- Featherweight veteran Cub Swanson delivered a wild TKO stoppage over Nate Landwehr to walk off into the sunset in his retirement fight (highlights HERE)
Now that UFC 327 has come to a close, let’s take a closer look at the official post-fight bonus winners. Remember, each winner gets an extra $100,000, while every fighter leftover who earned a finish gets $25,000.
