Carlos Ulberg’s coach believes Jiri Prochazka’s ‘special powers’ might be his downfall at UFC 327

Carlos Ulberg faces probably the most dangerous test of his profession thus far on April 11.

Last September, Ulberg knocked out Dominick Reyes to increase his winning streak contained in the Octagon to nine.

While ‘Black Jag’ has already beaten a run of contenders at 205 kilos, he’s never fought anyone quite just like the man he’ll face for the vacant title on Saturday night.

Jiri Prochazka plans to place the pressure on Ulberg after they meet on the Kaseya Center in Miami, but ‘Black Jag’ might be well aware of this.

Eugene Bareman believes Jiri Prochazka’s unpredictability can also be his weakness heading into UFC 327

The distinct styles that Carlos Ulberg and Jiri Prochazka bring to the table have many believing that their upcoming fight is chaos vs composure.

Ulberg’s head coach at City Kickboxing, Eugene Bareman, often says quite a bit while using few words, as we’ve seen ahead of loads of Israel Adesanya fights.

Bareman’s comments throughout the Countdown preview for UFC 327 suggest that capitalizing on the moments where Prochazka gets chaotic is an enormous focus for this matchup.

“Training Carlos for an enormous, rangy, well-experienced, switch-hitting man from the Czech Republic,” he said. “The identical unpredictability that provides Jiri his special powers can also be the identical thing that weakens him.”

We saw each Jamahal Hill and Khalil Rountree Jr. have success against Prochazka last yr by being disciplined and sticking to their game plan.

That being said, the previous champion was capable of pull off comeback wins against each men by forcing them to interact him in a brawl where his somewhat reckless creativity led to 2 third round finishes.

The important thing statistic to attract attention to from the numbers above is the numerous strikes absorbed per minute, which shows that Prochazka takes more damage in his fights.

Ulberg’s issue won’t be hitting the person stood in front of him, it should be the shots that come back at him from different angles and with unorthodox timing.
