Prochazka pressed forward and ate a left hand on entry, then answered with a jab to the body. Ulberg kept targeting the lead leg, and Prochazka absorbed another kick while continuing to advance and crowd the space.
Prochazka began to extend his offense with longer punching looks, and Ulberg spun out of an exchange. In the aftermath of the movement, Ulberg appeared to tweak something in his knee as he reset. The next time he tried to plant, the leg looked unstable.
Prochazka stepped in with pressure and Ulberg immediately showed discomfort in his base. A kick from Prochazka landed and visibly compromised him further, and Ulberg’s stance began to collapse under him. Prochazka followed up with another low kick as Ulberg’s movement became increasingly restricted.
Ulberg tried to answer back and even fired a head kick, but his planted leg buckled again on impact. The instability became obvious every time he tried to shift weight or pivot.
Prochazka continued to target the compromised leg, then brought a left hook upstairs as Ulberg tried to shell and reset. Ulberg clipped him clean in return during an exchange, but he couldn’t stabilise afterward and his base gave out again.
Prochazka swarmed forward with strikes as Ulberg could no longer maintain structure, and the referee stepped in to stop it as Ulberg continued to collapse under pressure.
Genuinely incredible from Ulberg it seemed all but over but he managed to find a finish that will put him in the UFC history books forever!
