Carlos Ulberg revealed that he deliberately pursued a first-round knockout because his corner was considering stopping the fight between rounds due to an injury he sustained. Ulberg explained that he knew he needed to finish his opponent in the opening round and therefore started hitting harder than usual. The specific nature of his injury was not detailed in this statement. Despite the physical setback, Ulberg successfully secured the early stoppage victory, preventing his corner from having to make the difficult decision to pull him from the fight.
