Ulberg finishes Procházka with left hook, Ankalaev potential next opponent

Carlos Ulberg knocked out Jiří Procházka at UFC 327 with his signature left check hook, marking his sixth knockout with this strike in his last 12 fights. Despite suffering a knee injury during the fight, Ulberg maintained his striking dominance while Procházka struggled to adjust his approach after being caught by the same punch that previously dropped him twice against Pereira. The post analyzes a potential matchup between Ulberg and Magomed Ankalaev, noting that while Ankalaev has previously been hurt by left hooks from Thiago Santos, his wrestling ability and patient striking could give him a slight edge. Additionally, Paulo Costa defeated both Russian fighters Dmitrii Kopõlov and Azamat Murzakanov, with the latter showing cardio issues in the third round, while Josh Emmett impressed with his athleticism despite the judges' decision being described as difficult to score accurately.
