"Prochazka was trying to regain the title he once held, while City Kickboxing's Carlos Ulberg was getting his first championship opportunity in the main event in Miami, Florida."
"Ulberg caught Prochazka with a check left hook on the way in. Prochazka went down, rolling over, but Ulberg had it in him to get on top and add some finishing strikes."
"Ulberg suggested after the fight that he'd blown out his knee. He may be the first UFC champion to see an interim title fight in play the very same night he won his UFC title."
Carlos Ulberg faced Jiri Prochazka for the vacated light heavyweight title at UFC 327. The fight began cautiously, with Ulberg attempting calf kicks. Prochazka capitalized on an early injury to Ulberg, targeting his legs effectively. Despite a serious calf injury, Ulberg landed a decisive check left hook that knocked Prochazka down. Ulberg then secured the victory with finishing strikes, becoming the new light heavyweight champion. He suggested post-fight that he may have injured his knee during the bout.
