Ulberg's precision striking proved decisive. He landed a powerful right hand that sent the former champion to the mat. Ulberg swiftly followed up, delivering a barrage of strikes on the ground.

Despite Procházka's attempts to defend and escape, the onslaught was too much. The fight was ultimately stopped, rendering Procházka unconscious.

Official Result: Carlos Ulberg def. Jiri Procházka via KO (strikes) at 3:45 of Round 1, becoming the undisputed UFC light heavyweight champion.

The fight showcased an extraordinary comeback and a testament to Ulberg's fighting spirit, demonstrating that even with a severe disadvantage, unwavering determination can lead to victory.
