Ulberg expressed confidence in his title ambitions, noting his impressive eight-fight win streak, the longest in the division. Though not a decisive finish, the victory solidifies Ulberg's position in the light heavyweight hierarchy as he looks toward a potential title shot soon.

"We knew he was gonna come out tough and exactly how he came out," Ulberg said. "He's very good at lulling you to sleep. He's very good at kind of putting this pressure [on] but not really doing anything."
"Eight-fight win streak, the longest win streak in the light heavyweight division," he said. "I'm definitely looking at a light heavyweight title contention."
