Carlos Ulberg KOs Prochazka with signature left check hook at UFC 327

Carlos Ulberg defeated Jiri Prochazka at UFC 327 with his trademark left check hook, marking his sixth knockout or knockdown with that strike in his last 12 fights. Prochazka was caught by the punch three times before the finish, despite having been dropped twice by the same strike in his bouts with Alex Pereira. The Czech fighter was unable to develop a safe strategy to close distance, and Ulberg capitalized despite suffering a knee injury during the bout. The analyst suggests Ulberg versus Ankalaev would favor Ankalaev 55-45, citing Ulberg's superior mobility but Ankalaev's pressure game and wrestling ability. Meanwhile, Paulo Costa knocked out both Sergey Kopylev and Azamat Murzakanov, demonstrating significant growth in understanding distance and fight management despite limited activity.
