A comprehensive breakdown of UFC 327 highlights Carlos Ulberg's exceptional use of the left check hook, with six knockouts or knockout sequences using this strike in his last 12 fights. The analysis notes that Prochazka was caught by this punch three times before the final knockout, despite having been dropped by it twice in previous fights with Pereira. The piece questions why Prochazka didn't mix in wrestling, especially after Ulberg injured his knee, given Prochazka's past success taking down Pereira. Regarding a potential Ankalaev vs Ulberg matchup, the analysis gives Ankalaev a slight 55-45 edge, noting that while Ulberg is faster and more mobile than Pereira and Santos, Ankalaev's pressure and wrestling could be decisive. The author emphasizes that Tiago Santos previously hurt Ankalaev with the same left check hook that is Ulberg's signature weapon.
