'Unbelievable': Carlos Ulberg's one-legged UFC 327 title win leaves MMA world dumbfounded
Even Carlos Ulbergs peers couldnt believe what they watched Saturday night at UFC 327.Fighting on one leg after suffering an apparent blown-out knee, Ulberg scored one of the greatest finishes youll ever see, knocking out Jiri Prochazka with a Hail Mary punch to capture the vacant UFC light heavyweight title in the most improbable way imaginable. In terms of come-from-behind performances where a fighter snatches victory from the jaws of defeat, few among UFC history stand up to what Ulberg just pulled off against a former champion like Prochazka, who carries a well-deserved reputation as one of the divisions most dangerous strikers."I blew out my knee, but I never, ever counted myself out," Ulberg said in the cage after his win. "I knew that all I need was that one shot, and I ended up getting it."I've got to sort this knee out, but I'm a world champion."The abrupt result left not only Prochazka dumbfounded, but also countless fighters on the UFC roster, many of whom hailed Ulbergs work and Prochazkas failure to capitalize as a lesson in why its never wise to let your foot off the gas in a high-level fist-fight.You can learn things through direct or indirect experience, tweeted bantamweight contender Aiemann Zahabi, who fights Sean OMalley on the upcoming UFC White House card. Tonight, every fighter on the roster learned the same lesson.
