Jiri Prochazka could face Carlos Ulberg for the UFC light heavyweight title.
Jiri Prochazka may face Carlos Ulberg in a potential UFC light heavyweight title fight. Although Alex Poatan is still the current champion in the 93kg division, the situation could change in the coming months.
After defeating Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 320, Poatan publicly expressed his desire to move up a weight class in pursuit of a third title in the organization. If the move is confirmed, the light heavyweight division would be without a champion, opening up a spot for Carlos Ulberg and Jiri Prochazka to compete for the vacant belt.
