Carlos Ulberg wins UFC gold

With President Donald Trump watching from cageside, Carlos Ulberg delivered a clinical left hook that sent Jiri Prochazka to the canvas just minutes into their championship bout.

Ulberg’s triumph makes him the new king of the light-heavyweight division, though his immediate future is uncertain due to the knee injury sustained early in the round.

The event, held at the Kaseya Center, also featured a statement win for Josh Hokit over Curtis Blaydes.

The UFC now faces a dilemma as its new champion likely faces a lengthy period of rehabilitation.
