Tonight’s UFC 327 pay-per-view event was headlined by a vacant light heavyweight title fight between Jiri Prochazka and Carlos Ulberg.
Prochazka (32-6-1 MMA) was looking to reclaim the UFC light heavyweight championship when he collided with Ulberg for the promotion’s vacant 205lbs title this evening in Florida. The Czech standout entered the contest sporting a two-fight win streak, this after scoring stoppage wins over Jamahal Hill and Khalil Rountree Jr. in his most previous Octagon appearances.
Meanwhile, Carlos Ulberg (14-1 MMA) had entered his first career title fight on a nine-fight winning streak, with his most recent victory being a first-round knockout over Dominick Reyes this past September (see that here). Prior to that triumph, ‘Black Jag’ was coming off back-to-back unanimous decision wins over Jan Blachowicz and Volkan Oezdemir.
Tonight’s UFC 327 headliner resulted in one of the craziest finishes in recent memory. After getting off to a good start with some hard low kicks, Carlos Ulberg seemingly blew out his knee while sliding out of the pocket. Jiri Prochazka initially pounced at the opportunity, but after landing some nasty low kicks to the injured leg of Ulberg and recognizing the extent of his opponent’s injury, Prochazka seemingly let up. It was shortly after his aggression stopped that ‘Black Jag’ was able to find a home for a big left hook that sent the Czech fighter crashing to the canvas. Ulberg jumped all over Jiri with hammer fists and put him out cold for a brief moment.
