MIAMI – The UFC will crown a new light heavyweight champion Saturday in South Florida.
Former 205-pound titleholder Jiri Prochazka (32-5-1 MMA, 6-2 UFC) has another crack at the belt when he takes on Carlos Ulberg (13-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) for the title vacated by Alex Pereira, who is moving up to heavyweight to try for a third UFC title.

Prochazka never lost the title after he won it against Glover Teixeira, but had to vacate it due to an injury and surgery. In two attempts to recapture it against Pereira, he came up short. But now he has another opportunity to have gold around his waist.
