A key light heavyweight showdown between Jamahal Hill and Carlos Ulberg will serve because the co-main event of UFC’s twelfth annual International Fight Week extravaganza at UFC 303 this summer.
Jamahal Hill vs. Carlos Ulberg preview
After making a fast return from his Achilles injury and failing to recapture the 205-pound title with a first-round knockout loss to Alex Pereira at UFC 300 in April, Hill (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) makes a quick return in hopes of regaining momentum. He was originally scheduled to face Khalil Rountree on the event, but Rountree was forced out after failing a drug test as a result of the accidental ingestion of a banned substance, resulting in a two-month suspension.
That afforded an enormous opportunity to Ulberg (9-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC), who’s coming off a 12-second knockout victory over Alonzo Menifield at UFC on ESPN 56 in May to increase his current winning streak to 5 fights. Hill, No. 3 in the newest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie light heavyweight rankings, represents a major step up in competition for No. 15-ranked Ulberg.
