Prochazka, 33, entered the bout as the number-two ranked light heavyweight contender and brought an imposing 32-6-1 record and a 80-inch reach into the contest. The Czech fighter out of Jetsaam Gym Brno had been one of the division's most dangerous strikers, landing 5.69 significant strikes per minute at 55 percent accuracy, but Ulberg's finishing shot ended the night before those tools could fully take shape.

Ribovics, a 30-year-old Argentine out of Kill Cliff FC, carried a 15-3-0 record into the fight and had shown elite striking volume at 8.09 significant strikes per minute, but was unable to avoid the finish.
