Carlos Ulberg disclosed post-fight that he was under pressure to finish his opponent in the first round due to injury concerns. His corner team was contemplating stopping the fight between rounds, which motivated Ulberg to increase his striking intensity and secure an early stoppage. The Australian fighter acknowledged that he hit harder than usual because he knew his corner might not allow him to continue if the fight reached the second round. Despite the injury concern, Ulberg successfully executed his game plan and earned the first-round knockout victory.
