Ulberg stopping Jiri Prochazka at UFC 327<\/h2>\n<p>At UFC 327, it was announced that Gable Steveson has signed to the promotion, with him being shown in the course of the broadcast next to his MMA mentor, Jon Jones.<\/p>\n<p>This meant that the previous light heavyweight champion was sitting within the front row for the fundamental event to crown a brand new titleholder within the division where he spent most of his profession.<\/p>\n<p>Footage posted by TNT Sports earlier today showed Jones\u2019 stunned response to Carlos Ulberg overcoming some serious adversity to grab victory from the jaws of defeat.<\/p>\n<p>While Jones had two different light heavyweight title reigns, he never lost the belt in consequence of somebody beating him contained in the Octagon.<\/p>\n<p>He vacated the belt back in 2020 when deciding to take some day off to work on making the move as much as heavyweight.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, seven different fighters have held the 205-pound gold that Jones\u2019 profession is so synonymous with.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently of Ulberg\u2019s recent win, his current streak of ten consecutive victories at light heavyweight is the second-longest within the history of the division.<\/p>\n<p>Jones still holds the highest spot with 13 consecutive wins.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td
