UFC 327 concluded with thrilling fights, but many fighters left the octagon with serious injuries. New light heavyweight champion Carlos Ulberg defeated Jiri Prochazka despite suffering a torn ACL, leading to his indefinite suspension. Ulberg underwent surgery in Las Vegas, and the full extent of his injury remains unclear. The Florida Athletic Commission released a list of medical suspensions, which included indefinite suspensions for Ulberg, Prochazka, and four other fighters: Johnny Walker, Dominick Reyes, Curtis Blaydes, and Azamat Murzakanov. Notably, while some fighters like Paulo Costa and Mateusz Gamrot faced no suspensions, others received shorter suspensions, such as Josh Hokit (45 days) and Kelvin Gastelum (21 days). Fighters can return from suspensions if they receive medical clearance, but the Commission does not disclose specific injury details due to privacy regulations.
