Ulberg has six knockouts with left check hook in last 12 fights

An in-depth analysis of UFC 327 revealed Carlos Ulberg's devastating effectiveness with the left check hook, having scored six knockouts or knockout-initiating combinations with the strike in his last 12 fights. The analysis noted Ulberg's exceptional timing with this weapon against both orthodox and southpaw opponents. Jiri Prochazka was caught by the same punch three times before the knockout, having previously been dropped by it twice against Alex Pereira. The piece questioned why Prochazka didn't incorporate wrestling threats to safely close distance, especially given Ulberg's knee injury and Prochazka's demonstrated grappling success against Pereira. For a potential Ankalaev vs Ulberg matchup, the analysis favored Ankalaev 55-45, citing Thiago Santos previously hurting Ankalaev with the same left check hook, though noting Ankalaev's pressure and grappling advantages.
