Carlos Ulberg's left check-hook has secured 6 knockouts in last 12 fights

Carlos Ulberg has finished opponents with a left check-hook in six of his last 12 bouts, a devastating signature strike that has dropped both orthodox and southpaw fighters. Jiří Procházka was caught by this punch three times before the knockout at UFC 327. The analyst notes that Ulberg is more mobile and precise than opponents Procházka previously defeated like Rakić, Roountree, and Oezdemir. Despite Ulberg suffering a knee injury during the fight, Procházka failed to capitalize and continued pursuing striking exchanges. In a potential matchup with Magomed Ankalaev, the author gives Ankalaev a slight edge at 55-45, noting that while Ulberg is faster and more mobile than Alex Pereira or Thiago Santos, Ankalaev's body positioning makes him vulnerable to the same check-hook that troubled him against Santos.
