Carlos Ulberg’s comeback knockout over Jiri Prochazka was a late highlight, capping off a card that had already featured plenty of memorable moments. Josh Hokit and Curtis Blaydes put on an unforgettable heavyweight scrap, further strengthening what has been an eventful year so far.
It was another reminder of how much depth there is in the division right now. The card took place at the Kaseya Center in Miami, which hosted an enthusiastic crowd despite not being sold out, unlike previous events held there in recent years.

5m in gate sales and an attendance of 17,741. Miami has become a regular stop on the UFC calendar in recent years, but Saturday’s numbers suggest a decline. Saturday night also saw Tyson Fury’s return struggle with slow ticket sales, which may have added to the general feeling that demand wasn’t as high as usual across combat sports events that weekend.
And it wasn’t just fans taking note. During his post-event recap, Henry Cejudo pointed out how many seats went unsold despite what he described as a strong fight card. “I will say this bro, the arena wasn’t sold out,” Cejudo said on the Pound 4 Pound podcast.
