But he only needed one leg to get the job done, catching his Czech opponent with a nasty right hook before raining down a barrage of punches.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe caught him perfect, insane. Just perfect, Carlos Ulberg pulls it out with one leg. Incredible,\u201d Joe Rogan said.<\/p>\n
\u201cA champion with one knee.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jon Anik added: \u201cHe had an absolute sniper and now he is the light heavyweight champion.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prochazka was left stunned, claiming in a heartbreaking post-fight interview he showed Ulberg \u201ctoo much mercy\u201d over his injury.<\/p>\n
Ulberg now has won his last 10 fights, claiming the belt vacated after Alex Pereira moved up a division, opening the path for the \u2018Black Jag\u2019 to become yet another City Kickboxing champion alongside Israel Adesanya.<\/p>\n

Prochazka was the clear favourite among pundits and fellow fighters before the bout, with Michael Bisping among those tipping him to win.<\/p>\n
\u201cJiri\u2019s got that X-factor,\u201d Bisping said on his podcast during the week, but the New Zealander stunned many with a win in front of the Miami crowd.<\/p>\n
But Ulberg proved his doubters wrong with a staggering display, revealing post-fight that he \u201cblew out\u201d his knee.<\/p>\n
\u2018INSANE\u2019 HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT STUNS UFC WORLD<\/p>\n
That was simply \u201cinsane\u201d.<\/p>\n
American duo Josh Hokit and Curtis Blaydes have gone the distance in a bout billed the \u201ccraziest heavyweight fight of all time\u201d.<\/p>\n
Hokit had his hand raised at the end of the three rounds, but both fighters can be considered a winner after going toe-to-toe in a clash that will go down in UFC history.<\/p>\n
Commentary trio Joe Rogan, Jon Anik and Daniel Cormier struggled to get words out, consistently laughing and jeering in amazement as the pair traded barrages of punches.<\/p>\n
The early stages of the bout were dominated by Hokit, but he tired quickly after his early charge, which allowed Blaydes to gain the ascendency.<\/p>\n
Still, Hokit throughout the bout flipped his opponent the rude finger and taunted him in a fashion that was almost impossible to believe.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the antidote to Reyes and Walker… Josh Hokit is insane, really insane,\u201d Rogan said.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, Hokit didn\u2019t sit down between the first and second round, with Rogan questioning that decision after the fighter was clearly exhausted.<\/p>\n
But he came out in the second, flipped the bird, and started landing big punches again which stunned Blaydes, with Anik saying: \u201cHokit can smell blood in the water\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is one of the craziest heavyweight fights of all time,\u201d Rogan said, while Daniel Cormier added: \u201cHow is Curtis is still standing?\u201d.<\/p>\n

Cormier also believed the bout was the \u201ccraziest heavyweight fight of all time\u201d as the pair come out and prepared for the third round.<\/p>\n
Hokit\u2019s corner called for their fighter to throw four punch flurries, but he was unable to end his opponent as the final bell sounded.<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis Blaydes and Josh Hokit forever linked as they go the distance,\u201d Anik said.<\/p>\n
Speaking after his win, Hokit rhymed in typical fashion with a soliloquy that rivalled those written by Shakespeare.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo the Miami mamacita, my bathwater tastes like a sweet margarita. So what is there not to like? When I pick up the mic, a puppy comes back to life,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd when it\u2019s time to get litty, you know I can get jiggy. My electric slide could power this whole damn city.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m the ouch that runs his mouth and wears dirty shoes in your house, just to say \u2018f*** your coach\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll leave you with this, I toot my own horn and beat my own drum but if you think you can beat me in a fist fight, boy is you dumb.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hokit also called out Alex Pereira, with the UFC world being left stunned at the scenes that unfolded.<\/p>\n
BOOS RING OUT AFTER DISAPPOINTING BOUT<\/p>\n
The fight between Dominick Reyes and Johnny Walker was billed as one of the most exciting bouts on the UFC 327 card.<\/p>\n
What was dished up was far from it, with the pair being booed heavily by the Miami crowd after a pair of renowned strikers went the distance.<\/p>\n
Throughout the bout, the orthodox versus southpaw stance allowed Walker to continually evade which meant hardly any strikes were landed.<\/p>\n
Both fighters are known for finding an early finish \u2014 but both stood idle, unsure how to pick the other apart.<\/p>\n
\u201cDominick Reyes is able to escape, my analysts are throwing their hands in the air… a forgettable fight there tonight,\u201d Jon Anik said.<\/p>\n

FAIRYTALE FINISH FOR SWANSON<\/p>\n
It was Cub Swanson\u2019s last UFC fight, and the last active fighter from way back in the WEC era ended his career in style.<\/p>\n
Nate Landwehr was on the receiving end of a powerful first-round knockout, with Swanson walking forward continuously to ensure he capped off a stellar career with a win.<\/p>\n
It was a staggering performance considering Swanson is 42, while Landwehr argued and wrestled with referee Herb Dean who called a stop to the bout.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat will do it, Dean intervenes, the ultimate swan song,\u201d Jon Anik said, while Daniel Cormier said: \u201cYou couldn\u2019t write a script better\u201d.<\/p>\n
Swanson ends his impressive career with a 31-14 record, having beaten current BMF champ Charles Oliveira in the past while also knocking out Dustin Poirier.<\/p>\n
Swanson\u2019s retirement, almost 22 years after his professional debut, marks the end of an era for the UFC.<\/p>\n
