Two significant lightweight matchups have been officially added to the UFC 327 card scheduled for April 11 at the Kaseya Center in Miami. The newly announced fights feature former UFC headliners Beneil Dariush versus Manuel Torres and Mateusz Gamrot facing Esteban Ribovics, bringing more excitement to an already stacked event.
Beneil Dariush, holding a professional record of 23 wins, 7 losses, and 1 draw, is eager to rebound from a swift 16-second knockout last November against Benoit Saint Denis. His opponent, Manuel Torres, is a formidable striker with nine wins by knockout, currently holding a 5-1 UFC record. Torres looks to elevate his career further after recent victories against veterans Drew Dober and Grant Dawson.
Mateusz Gamrot enters the octagon aiming to reverse his fortunes following two losses in his last three contests. The Polish lightweight has an overall record of 25-4 and recently suffered a submission defeat by Charles Oliveira. Before that, he secured a unanimous decision win over Ludovit Klein. His opponent, Esteban Ribovics, boasts a 15-2 professional record with four wins out of his last five fights, including a recent victory over Elves Brenner. Ribovics’s only setback in that stretch was a split decision loss to Nasrat Haqparast.
These additions enrich the UFC 327 lineup, which already features title fights and notable bouts across multiple divisions. The roster includes:
1. Jiri Prochazka vs. Carlos Ulberg – Light heavyweight title fight
2. Champion Joshua Van vs. Tatsuro Taira – Flyweight title fight
3. Curtis Blaydes vs. Josh Hokit

UFC President Dana White revealed these additions during an Instagram Live session, emphasizing the promotion’s goal to offer compelling matchups leading into a crucial event. With the blend of experienced contenders and rising talents, UFC 327 is shaping up to be a major night for lightweight contenders seeking momentum within their division hierarchy.
