A comprehensive breakdown of UFC 327 highlights Carlos Ulberg's devastating left check hook, which has produced six knockouts or knockout sequences in his last 12 fights. The analysis notes Ulberg's exceptional timing with this strike against both orthodox and southpaw opponents. Despite Prochazka being knocked down by this punch three times before the finish, he failed to develop a safe closing strategy even after suffering from it twice against Alex Pereira. The piece questions why Prochazka didn't mix in wrestling, especially after Ulberg injured his knee. Looking ahead, the analyst gives Magomed Ankalaev a 55-45 edge over Ulberg, noting that while Ulberg is faster and more mobile than Pereira and Thiago Santos, Ankalaev's body positioning makes him vulnerable to the left check hook. The analysis also praises Paulo Costa for defeating two top Russian strikers in Kopylов and Murzakanov, showing significant growth despite only six fights in six years.
