A detailed analysis of UFC 327 highlights Carlos Ulberg's devastating left check hook that knocked out Jiri Prochazka. The analyst notes that Ulberg has scored six knockouts with this specific punch in his last 12 fights, demonstrating exceptional timing against both orthodox and southpaw opponents. Prochazka was caught three times by the same strike before the final knockout, having previously been dropped by the same punch twice against Alex Pereira. The analysis also reveals that Ulberg suffered a knee injury during the bout, which could have given Prochazka opportunities to mix in wrestling or leg kicks. Despite having only five takedown attempts in his UFC career, Prochazka failed to utilize wrestling threats or grappling to safely close distance against the superior counterpuncher. The piece questions why strikers like Prochazka don't employ wrestling feints more often, citing examples like Petr Yan who attempted 65 takedowns in the UFC.
