An in-depth analysis of UFC 327 highlighted Carlos Ulberg's devastating left check hook, noting he has scored six knockouts or knockout sequences with this punch in his last 12 fights. The analyst couldn't recall another UFC fighter with such timing and success rate with a single strike, as Ulberg drops both orthodox and southpaw fighters with it. Prochazka was caught three times before the knockout despite having been dropped twice by Pereira with the same punch. The piece questioned why Prochazka didn't mix in wrestling or use wrestling threats to safely close distance, especially given Ulberg's knee injury and past struggles with leg kicks from multiple opponents. Regarding a potential Ankalaev vs Ulberg matchup, the analysis gave Ankalaev 55-45 odds, noting that while Ulberg is faster and more mobile than Pereira and Santos, Ankalaev's pressure and grappling could be decisive. The analyst also praised Costa's improvement and Hoquit's athleticism while noting the Blaydes decision was essentially a coin flip.
