Fight Overview

Procházka is back for the vacant light heavyweight title after two failed title bids, while Ulberg rides a nine‑fight winning streak with knockout power. The clash pits Procházka’s unorthodox striking and grappling against Ulberg’s long kicks and power punches, making it a classic striker‑versus‑all‑rounder showdown.

Keys to Victory

Jiří Procházka

  1. Use his longer reach and angles to land strikes from distance
  2. Mix in takedowns and submissions to keep Ulberg off balance
  3. Maintain pressure in the later rounds to exploit Ulberg’s limited cardio

Carlos Ulberg

  1. Control range with long kicks and jab to keep Procházka at bay
  2. Look for a clean power shot early before Procházka settles into his rhythm
  3. Stay patient and avoid prolonged exchanges that favor Procházka’s cardio
