Analysis: Carlos Ulberg's left check hook defeats Jiri Prochazka at UFC 327

Carlos Ulberg knocked out Jiri Prochazka with his signature left check hook, a strike that has produced six knockouts in his last 12 fights against both orthodox and southpaw opponents. Prochazka was caught by the punch three times before the knockout, having previously been dropped by the same strike twice in his fights with Alex Pereira. The analysis criticizes Prochazka for not mixing in wrestling or takedown threats despite opportunities, especially after Ulberg suffered a knee injury. The author suggests Prochazka could have used distance management and leg kicks more effectively given Ulberg's vulnerable stance. For a potential Ankalaev vs Ulberg matchup, the author gives Ankalaev a 55-45 advantage, noting Ulberg's speed but also Ankalaev's pressure and wrestling capabilities. The piece also notes Paulo Costa's victories over Russian fighters Kopylov and Murzakanov, and praises Josh Hockit's athletic performance despite questioning the judging in his fight with Curtis Blaydes.
