Padilla wins back-and-forth slugfest

Chris Padilla and MarQuel Mederos delivered an early candidate for Fight of the Night.

Padilla took home a majority decision win after three hard-fought rounds, with the judges scoring it 29-27, 29-27, and 28-28. Padilla controlled the pace of the fight and landed the more damaging blows on the feet.

The 30-year-old California native is now 5-0 in the UFC and riding an eight-fight winning streak overall.

Mederos, 29, suffered his first loss in the promotion, falling to 3-1. His nine-fight winning streak came to an end.

Luque stuns Gastelum with choke

Vicente Luque pulled off a big upset against Kelvin Gastelum in his middleweight debut, submitting Gastelum with a D'Arce choke at the 4:08 mark of the first round.

Luque dropped Gastelum and then sunk in the submission, forcing a tap.

The 34-year-old Brazilian snapped a two-fight skid and picked up his first victory since December 2024. Luque is now tied with Matt Brown and Dustin Poirier for the fifth-most finishes in UFC history (15).

Gastelum, 34, fell to 1-2 in his last three Octagon appearances.

Radtke opens UFC 327 with a win

Welterweight Charles Radtke kicked off the night with a dominant performance against Francisco Prado, earning a unanimous decision victory (30-26, 30-26, 30-26).

The 35-year-old Chicago native was outstruck by Prado but amassed over eight minutes of ground control time to secure the judges' nod. Radtke is now riding a two-fight winning streak and hasn't lost since facing Mike Malott at UFC 315 last May.

Pre-fight notes

Prochazka and Ulberg will square off for the light heavyweight title after Alex Pereira vacated the belt and moved up to heavyweight. Prochazka, who held the title in 2022, is looking to become a two-time champion. The 33-year-old Czech Republic native is coming off back-to-back knockout wins over Khalil Rountree Jr. and Jamahal Hill and is 3-1 in his last four Octagon appearances. Prochazka's only two losses in the past decade came against Pereira.

Ulberg is fighting for the 205-pound title for the first time in his career. The 35-year-old New Zealander earned a crack at the belt with a knockout win over Dominick Reyes at UFC Perth last September. He's riding a nine-fight winning streak and holds an impressive 13-1 record as a professional.

In the UFC 327 co-main event, No. 6-ranked light heavyweight Azamat Murzakanov seeks the biggest win of his career against former middleweight title challenger Paulo Costa.
