Ulberg's left check hook dominance continues with sixth knockout using signature strike

Carlos Ulberg has now recorded six knockouts or knockout-initiating sequences with his left check hook in his last 12 fights, an unprecedented rate of success with a single strike in modern UFC. The analysis notes Ulberg has dropped both orthodox and southpaw opponents with this technique, catching fighters whether they're aggressively closing distance or fighting cautiously. Prochazka was hit with the check hook three times before the knockout despite having been dropped by the same strike twice in his bouts with Alex Pereira. The piece questions why Prochazka, given his size advantage and grappling success against fighters like Nemkov, Teixeira, and Pereira, didn't incorporate wrestling threats or clinch work to safely close distance. For an Ankalev vs. Ulberg matchup, the analysis gives Ankalev a slight 55-45 edge, noting Ankalev's vulnerability to the left check hook but crediting his pressure fighting and wrestling ability.
