An extensive post-event analysis of UFC 327 notes that cards without superstars like Topuria, Makhachev, Chimaev, Jones, Pereira, or Yan no longer generate significant engagement for MMA channels. The author praises Carlos Ulberg's devastating left check hook, which has produced 6 knockouts in his last 12 fights against both orthodox and southpaw opponents. The analysis criticizes Prochazka for not mixing in wrestling despite Ulberg's compromised knee and proven vulnerability to leg attacks. Regarding a potential Ankalaev-Ulberg matchup, the author gives Ankalaev 55-45 odds despite Ulberg's superior movement and speed. The piece also covers Paulo Costa's demolition of Russian fighters Sergey Kopylov and Azamat Murzakanov, expressing concern that Murzakanov trained at K-Dojo rather than stronger American gyms. Josh Hockit is praised as among the top three most athletic heavyweights alongside Francis Ngannou and Tom Aspinall over the past five years, though questions remain about fighting more efficiently.
