Van Injured, Flyweight Title Bout Postponed to UFC 328
5 Apr
Summary
- Joshua Van's flyweight title defense against Taira moved to UFC 328.
- An undisclosed injury caused Van's withdrawal from UFC 327.
- The bout is rescheduled for May 9, less than a month later.

The highly anticipated flyweight title defense between champion Joshua Van and challenger Tatsuro Taira has been postponed from UFC 327 due to an undisclosed injury sustained by Van. The bout has been rescheduled for UFC 328, which is set to take place on Saturday, May 9. This marks a significant shift in the UFC 327 card.
As a result of Van's withdrawal, the light heavyweight championship fight between Jiri Prochazka and Carlos Ulberg is now the sole title bout on the UFC 327 card. Additionally, the fight featuring Paulo Costa against Azamat Murzakanov has been promoted to the co-main event slot for UFC 327. Van's activity in the previous year, including four fights and winning the flyweight title, makes this postponement unexpected.
