Carlos Ulberg faces probably the most dangerous test of his profession thus far on April 11.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last September, Ulberg knocked out Dominick Reyes to increase his winning streak contained in the Octagon to nine. <\/p>\n

While \u2018Black Jag\u2019 has already beaten a run of contenders at 205 kilos, he\u2019s never fought anyone quite just like the man he’ll face for the vacant title on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Jiri Prochazka plans to place the pressure on Ulberg after they meet on the Kaseya Center in Miami, but \u2018Black Jag\u2019 might be well aware of this.<\/p>\n

Who wins the UFC 327 fundamental event?<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Eugene Bareman believes Jiri Prochazka\u2019s unpredictability can also be his weakness heading into UFC 327<\/h2>\n

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

Ulberg\u2019s head coach at City Kickboxing, Eugene Bareman, often says quite a bit while using few words, as we\u2019ve seen ahead of loads of Israel Adesanya fights.<\/p>\n

Bareman\u2019s comments throughout the Countdown<\/a> preview for UFC 327 suggest that capitalizing on the moments where Prochazka gets chaotic is an enormous focus for this matchup.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraining Carlos for an enormous, rangy, well-experienced, switch-hitting man from the Czech Republic,\u201d he said. \u201cThe identical unpredictability that provides Jiri his special powers can also be the identical thing that weakens him.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

UFC stats<\/strong><\/td>\nJiri Prochazka<\/strong><\/td>\nCarlos Ulberg<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Significant strikes landed per minute<\/td>\n5.69<\/td>\n6.54<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Significant striking accuracy<\/td>\n55%<\/td>\n55%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Significant strike defense<\/td>\n45%<\/td>\n51%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Ulberg\u2019s issue won\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n
