UFC 327 was confirmed after a profitable evening of fights at Miami’s Caseya Heart. The sunshine heavyweight division has a brand new king in Carlos Ulberg.
Miami has grow to be a spotlight vacation spot for UFC followers over the previous few years, with “The Magic Metropolis” constantly internet hosting distinctive occasions.
Carlos Ulberg stuns Jiří Prochaska
The primary occasion featured a battle for the vacant mild heavyweight belt between two high contenders at 205 kilos. After Alex Pereira relinquished his belt for a shot on the heavyweight title, it was clear that Carlos Ulberg vs. Jiří Prochaska can be the matchup. Ullberg was on a nine-fight win streak with a hard-fought knockout win over Dominick Reyes, and Prochaska had simply completed a combat with fellow high contender Khalil Rountree Jr.
It delivered in an enormous method, with a becoming headliner that assured an incredible second. Carlos Ulberg, who injured his knee early within the combat, landed a shocking left hook within the first spherical. There is a good probability Ullberg’s knee damage will decide his first protection of the sunshine heavyweight title. This championship has been marred by accidents to the champion and has been annulled many occasions, so let’s hope this does not occur equally for Ullberg. With the division in a state of flux and no actual candidates hanging their heads over the parapet, many are questioning who shall be subsequent.
Within the co-main occasion, Paulo Costa turned again the clock and delivered an incredible efficiency that reminded us of his development within the middleweight division from 2017 to 2019. Going through undefeated Russian Azamat Murzakhanov in brutal style with a third-round TKO win can be an effective way to announce his entrance into the 205-pound division. After the combat, Costa referred to as out present middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev, who has a great relationship with the champion, and his efficiency might give him an opportunity at a light-weight heavyweight title of his personal.
The entire different high contenders at 205 kilos have losses, so he must get again within the win column earlier than the title combat. The UFC is suspending fights to get to the highest of the division, and it’ll give them time to try this even when the champion is sidelined with an damage.
