The highly anticipated flyweight title bout between Joshua Van and Tatsuro Taira, initially slated as the co-main event for UFC 327, faced an unexpected cancellation. This adjustment means the light heavyweight championship fight for the vacant title between Jiri Prochazka and Carlos Ulberg will proceed as UFC 327's main event, as planned.
Following the cancellation of the flyweight championship, the light heavyweight showdown featuring Azamat Murzakanov and Paulo Costa was elevated to the co-main event slot for UFC 327.
