Carlos Ulberg is the new UFC light heavyweight champion after knocking out Jiri Prochazka in the main event of UFC 327 to claim the vacant 205-pound title.
The win also pushed Ulberg to the No. 1 spot in the light heavyweight rankings, while Prochazka dropped to No. 4 following the result at UFC 327.
In the aftermath of the title shake-up, Ulberg drew a simple but emphatic reaction: "King Carlos".
UFC 327 was part of a busy week that also included PFL Chicago, with results from both events causing movement in pound-for-pound and divisional rankings.
At heavyweight, Josh Hokit defeated Curtis Blaydes and surged from unranked to No. 13, while Blaydes fell from his previous position at No. 6 down to No. 8 in the division.
