Carlos Ulberg disclosed that his corner contemplated stopping his UFC 327 bout between rounds because of an injury he sustained. Knowing that his team was considering throwing in the towel, Ulberg understood he needed to finish Jiri Prochazka in the first round. This urgency led him to strike harder than usual to ensure a decisive finish before his corner could intervene. Ulberg explained that he took care to increase his power specifically because of the injury situation and the risk of the fight being stopped. The revelation provides context for Ulberg's aggressive approach in securing the first-round knockout. Despite fighting on one injured leg, Ulberg managed to defeat Prochazka before his corner's concerns could materialize into a stoppage.
