An in-depth analysis of UFC 327 notes that Carlos Ulberg has scored six knockouts with his left check hook in his last 12 fights, dropping both orthodox and southpaw opponents. Jiří Procházka was caught three times by the same punch before the knockout, having also been dropped by it twice against Alex Pereira. Despite opportunities to use wrestling after Ulberg injured his knee, Procházka continued striking and lost by knockout. The piece questions the value of staying awake for non-superstar cards given declining engagement. Paulo Costa's victories over Azamat Murzakanov and Mikhail Koplyov showcase his improvement despite limited activity (six fights in six years). Josh Hockit impressed again with his athleticism, speed, and durability against Curtis Blaydes in a fight with a controversial decision. The analyst suggests Magomed Ankalaev would be a 55-45 favorite over Ulberg.
