Overview
- Ulberg knocked out former champion Jiri Prochazka at UFC 327 in Miami to claim the vacant 205-pound title.
- He said his right knee swelled during the first round and he plans scans and rehab in Las Vegas with UFC Performance Institute staff.
- Ulberg told Fox Sports Australia he lost track of the championship belt after a nightclub afterparty and believes it was left at a friend’s apartment.
- Prochazka later said he showed mercy during the finish, a claim Ulberg dismissed while signaling there will be no instant rematch.
- With Alex Pereira now at heavyweight and the belt newly reassigned, a surgery ruling for Ulberg could push the UFC to consider an interim champion.
