Carlos Ulberg disclosed 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 increased the power of his strikes knowing he needed to finish Jiri Prochazka immediately. His corner had begun discussing potentially stopping the contest before the second round could begin. The revelation provides context for Ulberg's aggressive approach in the opening frame. Despite fighting injured, Ulberg successfully secured the knockout victory and claimed the interim light heavyweight title.
