Carlos Ulberg disclosed that his corner considered stopping his fight between rounds due to injury, forcing him to target a first-round knockout against Jiri Prochazka at UFC 327. The Australian fighter explained that knowing his team might pull him out, he intentionally struck harder than usual to secure an early finish. Despite fighting on what was later revealed to be a serious leg injury, Ulberg successfully knocked out Prochazka in the opening frame. His comments provide context for the aggressive approach that led to the stunning upset victory. The revelation adds another layer to what was already considered one of the most impressive performances given the circumstances of fighting injured against a former champion.
