New Zealand fighter Carlos Ulberg (UFC, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, is the world's premier mixed martial arts promotion) captured the vacant UFC light heavyweight title at UFC 327 in Miami on Saturday, stopping former champion Jiri Prochazka of the Czech Republic with a left hook knockout at 3:45 of the first round. The victory was made more remarkable by a knee injury Ulberg suffered early in the fight, which Prochazka failed to fully exploit before being caught coming forward. US President Donald Trump watched the bout cageside at the Kaseya Center, and the win extends Ulberg's winning streak to ten consecutive fights.
