Overview
- Carlos Ulberg stopped former champion Jiri Prochazka with a counter left hook and follow-up punches at 3:45 of Round 1 in Saturday’s UFC 327 main event in Miami.
- Ulberg told the broadcast he “blew out” his knee early in the round, and multiple outlets reported it could be a serious ligament injury, with scans still to come.
- Prochazka said he hesitated after seeing Ulberg was hurt and called it “mercy,” a decision he regretted, while Ulberg later called that pause a fight-ending mistake.
- Paulo Costa knocked out previously unbeaten Azamat Murzakanov in the co-main event, boosting his case in a 205-pound division now waiting on the champion’s medical outlook.
- Ulberg received a $100,000 Performance of the Night bonus for the finish, and the UFC will sort next steps once doctors determine whether his knee requires an extended layoff, which could trigger interim-title discussions.
