An analyst reviewing UFC 327 noted that Carlos Ulberg has scored 6 knockouts with his left check hook (or knockout sequences featuring it) in his last 12 fights, stating they cannot recall another UFC fighter with such timing and success with this strike. The analysis highlighted that Prochazka was caught by the check hook three times before the knockout, similar to his two losses to Pereira, and failed to develop a safe closing strategy or mix in wrestling despite opportunities, especially after Ulberg's knee injury. Regarding a potential Ankalaev vs Ulberg matchup, the analyst noted that Thiago Santos twice rocked and dropped Ankalaev with a left check hook, and Ulberg is more mobile and faster than both Pereira and Santos. However, the analyst gave Ankalaev 55-45 odds due to his ability to pressure patiently, land strikes, and potentially dominate wrestling exchanges if properly prepared. The post also praised Paulo Costa's knockout of Murzakanov and Josh Hockit's athletic performance despite questioning the split decision against Blaydes.
