An analyst reviewing UFC 327 notes that Carlos Ulberg has achieved six knockouts or knockout sequences using the left check hook in his last 12 fights, calling his timing with this strike unprecedented in the UFC. Ulberg has dropped both orthodox and southpaw fighters with this technique, regardless of whether they pressure aggressively or fight cautiously. Jiri Prochazka was caught by this punch three times before the knockout finish. The analyst discusses how Prochazka failed to safely close distance despite being dropped by the same strike twice against Alex Pereira previously. Regarding a potential Magomed Ankalaev versus Ulberg matchup, the analyst gives Ankalaev a 55-45 edge, noting that while Thiago Santos hurt Ankalaev with the left check hook twice, Ankalaev's pressure and wrestling could be deciding factors.
