Procházka (32-5-1, fighting out of Brno, Czech Republic) returns to the Octagon with his sights set on reclaiming the light heavyweight crown. A fan favorite for his all-action fighting style, Procházka holds notable wins over some of the division’s best, including as Jamahal Hill, Dominick Reyes, and Khalil Rountree Jr. He now looks to add Ulberg to his impressive resume and raise UFC gold once again.

Ulberg (14-1, fighting out of Auckland, New Zealand) looks to secure the biggest win of his career and capture the UFC light heavyweight title. Since breaking into the UFC, the New Zealand native has earned his spot in the Top 5 on the strength of a nine-fight winning streak that includes impressive wins over Dominick Reyes, Alonzo Menifield, and former champion Jan Błachowicz. Ulberg now aims to etch his name into the history books with a dominant win over Procházka.

Van (16-2, fighting out of Houston, Texas) sets forth for his first title defense. Claiming the UFC flyweight title just two years into his Octagon career, Van rocketed through the 125-pound division by delivering statement victories over Brandon Royval, Bruno Silva and Cody Durden. He now looks to solidify his reign by defeating Taira in dominant fashion.

Taira (18-1, fighting out of Okinawa, Japan) heads down to the 305 seeking his first world title. At 26-years-old, the young prospect has amassed a near-perfect resume that includes finishes over former UFC champion Brandon Moreno, Hyun Sung Park and Alex Perez.

Lila Nikole and Platinum FUBU Bring the Amazonia Experience to Miami Swim Week

Miami Swim Week is about to get even more immersive. On Sunday, May 31 at 2:00 PM, designer Lila Nikole will present The Golden Standard: Amazonia Experience at Tequila Town in Miami, debuting a new collaboration with Platinum FUBU during one of fashion’s biggest weekends in South Florida.

May 15, 2026

Inspired by the richness and mystique of the Brazilian rainforest, the presentation moves beyond the traditional runway format and into a cinematic, multi sensory experience where fashion, storytelling, music, and visual artistry come together in one space.

Known for her bold and culture driven design aesthetic, Lila Nikole transforms the venue into what organizers describe as a living narrative filled with character led moments and immersive visual storytelling. The event will also introduce a limited edition Lila Nikole x Platinum FUBU collection, marking a new chapter for both brands.

“This collaboration is incredibly personal for me,” says Lila Nikole. “Growing up in Queens, FUBU was more than a brand, it was a cultural force that shaped my earliest connection to fashion and identity. To now partner with a label that played such a pivotal role in my journey feels truly full circle.”

The collection reimagines Platinum FUBU’s iconic legacy through Lila Nikole’s creative lens, blending the brand’s signature identity with a modern, luxury focused perspective.

The event also coincides with the continued expansion of Platinum FUBU, the designer driven evolution of the iconic label known for its premium materials and fashion forward silhouettes.

Adding to the atmosphere, Miami based cultural partner Miamibloco will feature Bateria Saideira, described as the largest Rio style samba percussion orchestra in the United States. Music throughout the experience will also include sounds by DJ Dinero and DJ Trauma.

Rather than separating guests from the presentation, the experience is intentionally designed to feel intimate and barrier free. Attendees will move throughout the space while engaging directly with the craftsmanship, textures, and details that define both Lila Nikole’s aesthetic and Platinum FUBU’s luxury direction.
