Analysis: Ulberg's left check hook dominance and Ankalaev matchup examined

A detailed analysis of UFC 327 highlights Carlos Ulberg's exceptional left check hook, which has produced six knockouts or knockout sequences in his last 12 fights against both orthodox and southpaw opponents. The analyst notes that Procházka was caught by this punch three times before the knockout, despite having been dropped by the same strike twice against Alex Pereira. Regarding a potential Ulberg vs Magomed Ankalaev matchup, the analysis favors Ankalaev 55-45, noting that while Thiago Santos hurt and dropped Ankalaev twice with the left check hook, Ulberg is faster and more mobile than both Pereira and Santos. However, Ankalaev's pressure and grappling ability could prove decisive. The post also praises Paulo Costa's recent victories over Russian fighters Alexey Kopylov and Azamat Murzakanov, noting Costa's improvement in distance management despite limited activity. The analyst was critical of Murzakanov being coached at K-Dojo by Murat Keshtov rather than a stronger American gym, and notes that at 37 with cardio lasting only two rounds, Murzakanov faces challenges moving forward.
