Prochazka (32-5-1) will be competing in his third UFC title fight when he enters the Octagon next month. He originally captured the belt in an all-time classic against Glover Teixeira at UFC 275, but later vacated the championship after suffering a severe shoulder injury.
His two most recent title opportunities came against Alex Pereira, where he suffered knockout losses on both occasions.
Still, Prochazka enters this matchup on a two-fight winning streak with finishes over Khalil Rountree Jr. (watch highlights) and Jamahal Hill.
Meanwhile, Ulberg (13-1) will be competing for UFC gold for the very first time. The City Kickboxing standout currently holds the longest active winning streak in the Light Heavyweight division with nine straight victories and is coming off a first-round knockout of Dominick Reyes (watch highlights).
