During UFC Houston, it was confirmed that Joshua Van would be defending his flyweight championship against Tatsuro Taira.
It hasn’t been disclosed whether it will feature as UFC 327’s headliner or co-main event; regardless, it’s an anticipated five-round war that’s expected to exceed expectations from MMA fans.
Along with the title fight, seven bouts have been added to the fight card, making this numbered event look even more stunning.
Here are all the fights announced for April 11th, which will take place at the Kaseya Centre in Miami, Florida.
Dominick Reyes vs Johnny walker
We begin with two light heavyweight contenders who love to stop a fight by knockout and aim to be in the top 10 of the rankings.
Reyes wants redemptions after suffering a first-round knockout loss to Carlos Ulberg at UFC Perth. ‘The Devastator’ was originally on a three-fight KO/TKO win streak before it came to a stop.
Walker returned to the win column in his last bout as he defeated Zhang Mingyang in enemy territory, stopping the Chinese fighter by second-round TKO at UFC Shanghai.
Both men have had a bumpy journey in their UFC careers with a mix of victories and losses in their last 10 fights, but only one will walk out victorious in Miami.
Azamat Murzakanov vs Paulo Costa
The former Brazilian middleweight title challenger is stepping up to 205 pounds to take on an undefeated Russian KO artist.
Murzakanov increased his unstoppable MMA record to 16-0 when he knocked out Aleksandr Rakic in the first round by knockout at UFC 321, making it 12 KO/TKO triumphs in his career.
Costa bounced back from a two-fight losing streak at UFC 318, where he defeated Roman Kopylov by unanimous decision, remaining as the #13 contender.
‘The Professional’ may only be one or two fights away from a title shot, but ‘The Eraser’ has a significant chance to enter the light heavyweight division and jump in at #6 in the rankings if he is successful.
Curtis Blaydes vs Josh Hokit
A classic veteran vs prospect matchup takes place in the heavyweight division, as the newcomer has an incredible opportunity to break into the top five of the rankings.
‘Razor’ Blaydes just edged a split decision win against debutant Rizvan Kuniev at UFC Baku, however, the 35-year-old wants to improve from that particular performance so he can showcase something better for the fans.
Hokit has already fought this year as he earned a buzzer-beater first-round TKO win against Denzel Freeman at UFC 324, aiming to maintain his undefeated record of eight victories and a 100% finish rate of five knockouts and three submissions.
At heavyweight, it’s very likely a stoppage will happen, and these two behemoths will want to make a statement victory at the Kaseya Center.
Kevin Holland vs Randy Brown
Next up, a battle for redemption at welterweight, which sees two mixed martial artists very near the top 15, looking to find a way to squeeze in the rankings.
Despite competing five times in 2025, Holland is on back-to-back unanimous decision losses against Mike Malott at UFC Vancouver and Daniel Rodriguez at UFC 318.
Brown had a shot at entering the 170-pound rankings in his last fight, but he failed his opportunity with a second-round knockout loss to Gabriel Bonfim at UFC Vegas 111.
‘Trailblazer’ is a fan-favourite and former contender, as a lot of the MMA community will predict him to win, but don’t count out ‘Rudeboy’, who has been far more successful in his last 10 bouts.
Tatiana Suarez vs Loopy Godinez
This particular fight could be billed as a title eliminator with the winner potentially getting the chance to face UFC Strawweight Champion Mackenzie Dern.
Suarez bounced back from her title loss against Zhang Weili at UFC 312, going the distance with Amanda Lemos to win by unanimous decision at Noche UFC.
Godinez is on a two-fight win streak and has risen to #6 in the 115-pound rankings after claiming unanimous decision wins against Julia Polastri and former UFC Champion Jessica Andrade.
While it’s uncertain who Dern will make her first title defence against, if Suarez or Godinez can pull off an impressive stoppage victory, it should guarantee them a shot at gold.
Cub Swanson vs Nate Landwehr
Moving on to an exciting featherweight matchup, which features one of the most experienced mixed martial artists in the division against a high-paced warrior.
Swanson has not fought since December 202,4, when he emerged victorious with a third-round knockout over Billy Quarantillo at UFC Tampa, and currently holds the most fight-night bonuses at 145 pounds.
Landwehr is looking to return to winning ways with back-to-back third-round TKO losses on his MMA record, which have come against Choi Doo-ho and Morgan Charriere.
This scheduled three-round war is a strong contender for Fight of the Night due to both fighters having an entertaining striking style, which is a real crowd-pleaser.
Kyle Daukaus vs Vicente Luque
Last but not least, an extremely interesting fight at 185 pounds, which features a Brazilian moving up from welterweight to take on an exciting American prospect.
Daukaus has been on a roll since his return to the UFC, picking up a 43-second knockout win against Michel Pereira at UFC Shanghai and a 50-second submission victory over Gerald Meerschaert at UFC 322.
Compared to his opponent, Luque was on the other end of his luck in 2025, suffering a submission loss to Kevin Holland at UFC 316 and a unanimous decision defeat against Joel Alvarez at UFC Rio as he aims to make a fresh start in a different weight class.
With the victories that ‘The D’Arce Knight’ is stacking up, he may not be far away from the middleweight rankings, hence why it’s the perfect time for ‘The Silent Assassin’ to sneak in.
