The UFC returns to Miami's Kaseya Center on Saturday night for UFC 327, headlined by a light heavyweight title fight between Jiří Procházka and Carlos Ulberg. Geoff Clark of OutKick provides his top betting picks for the stacked main card, including Procházka's title fight, a light heavyweight clash between Azamat Murzakanov and Paulo Costa, a heavyweight bout featuring Curtis Blaydes, and more.

Why it matters

UFC 327 features several high-profile matchups with title implications, as well as a mix of veteran fighters and rising stars. The card presents numerous opportunities for bettors to potentially profit, especially with the main event title fight between the experienced Procházka and the up-and-coming Ulberg.

The details

In the main event, Procházka (-108) enters with a significant reach advantage and more knockout power than Ulberg, who is making his first UFC pay-per-view appearance. Procházka has 28 knockouts in 32 wins, including back-to-back 'Performance of the Night' bonuses in his last two fights. Ulberg, meanwhile, has just eight knockouts in 13 career wins, with two of his previous three wins coming by decision. In the co-main event, Murzakanov and Costa are expected to stand and trade blows, with the fight likely going the distance given their respective records. The light heavyweight bout between Reyes and Walker is heavily favored to end in a knockout, with Reyes' superior striking and big-fight experience giving him the edge. Finally, the featherweight matchup between veterans Swanson and Landwehr is expected to be an action-packed fight that won't go the distance.

  • UFC 327 takes place on Saturday, April 11, 2026 in Miami, Florida.
  • The main card starts at 9:00 p.m. ET.
