Ulberg's left check hook proves decisive weapon in Prochazka knockout win

Carlos Ulberg has secured six knockouts with his left check hook in his last 12 fights, a weapon that proved decisive against Jiri Prochazka at UFC 327. The analyst notes Ulberg caught Prochazka with the punch three times before the knockout, despite Prochazka having been dropped by the same strike twice previously in fights with Alex Pereira. Ulberg has successfully landed the punch against both orthodox and southpaw opponents throughout his recent run. The post questions whether Magomed Ankalaev can avoid the same fate, noting that Thiago Santos previously hurt Ankalaev twice with the same punch. While Ulberg showed vulnerability when his knee was damaged during the fight, his superior movement and timing allowed him to finish Prochazka. The analyst favors Ankalaev 55-45 in a potential matchup based on Ankalaev's ability to mix in wrestling and maintain pressure.
