Ulberg wins UFC light-heavyweight title

In a dramatic night in Miami, Carlos Ulberg overcame physical adversity to become the new king of the light-heavyweight division.

With President Donald Trump watching from ringside, Ulberg landed a perfect left hook that sent Procházka to the canvas.

The fight was the highlight of a star-studded event that also saw a statement win for Josh Hokit.

However, the division's future remains uncertain as the new champion's knee injury may necessitate a lengthy period of recovery.
