UFC 327 results: Carlos Ulberg suffers leg injury, then KOs Jiri Prochazka to win title
The UFC 327 main event ended in insane fashion.
MIAMI – Expect the unexpected. That's the lesson UFC fans were reminded of once again Saturday. In the UFC 327 main event, Carlos Ulberg appeared to be all but finished and then he flipped the script and won light heavyweight gold.
Moments after he suffered a leg injury, Ulberg (14-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) knocked out Jiri Prochzaka (32-6-1 MMA, 6-3 UFC) to win the vacant title at 3:45 of Round 1 at Kaseya Center. Ulberg appeared to suffer a right knee injury in one of the opening exchanges. His pokerface was of no use, as his knee continued to buckle on him over and over again, sending him stumbling over.
Prochazka, at one point, seemed to signal to Ulberg, out of respect, that he knew the injury had taken place. He tried to follow up with leg kicks, some of which knocked Ulberg to the canvas. But a miscalculation, that turned out to be, as Ulberg floored Prochazka with a left hook.
He pounced and finished things off with follow-up punches, as Prochazka's head bounced repeatedly off the canvas. AND NEWWWWW 📺 @paramountplus pic. twitter.
