Carlos Ulberg reveals corner considered stopping fight due to injury

Carlos Ulberg stated after his victory that his corner was considering stopping the fight between rounds due to an injury he sustained. Aware of this possibility, Ulberg knew he needed to finish Prochazka in the first round and began striking harder than usual to secure the knockout. The injury was serious enough that his team discussed pulling him from the bout if it had continued past the opening frame. Ulberg's urgency to end the fight early ultimately proved successful.
