UFC 327 has lost a title fight.
Joshua Van was scheduled to put his flyweight title on the line against Tatsuro Taira in the co-main event at UFC 327 on April 11 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. However, the fight has now been rescheduled to the already stacked UFC 328 card on May 9 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The fight has reportedly been postponed due to a minor injury suffered by Van. The rescheduling was announced during the UFC Fight Night 272 broadcast on Saturday.
One Month Down the Road
UFC 327 will be headlined by a clash for the vacant light heavyweight title between Jiri Prochazka and Carlos Ulberg. Meanwhile, Khamzat Chimaev will put his middleweight title on the line against Sean Strickland in the main event at UFC 328.
Van (16-2) won the flyweight title with an injury stoppage win over Alexandre Pantoja at UFC 323 this past December. Meanwhile, Taira (18-1) is 8-1 in the UFC and coming off consecutive stoppage wins over Hyun Sung Park and Brandon Moreno.
