Episode summary
Live from Miami after a wild UFC night, I’m amped—the Kaseya Center shook and the card absolutely delivered.
What happened at the top? Carlos Ulberg finished Jiri Prochazka with the left hook he kept setting up, and he did it while clearly hurt and fighting off one leg; Jiri showed heart and even a moment of compassion, but Ulberg’s will and composure won the belt.
Why does this matter for Ulberg and City Kickboxing? He crushed the doubts about his prep and proved the champion’s engine underneath, and now City Kickboxing counts Volkanovski, Adesanya, and Ulberg among its champs.
Who owned the co-main spotlight? Paulo Costa looked the best he has in ages, smashing the body and legs until the high kicks took over against Azamat Murzakanov, and that late collapse showed how badly Azamat was hurt despite his long unbeaten run.
What was the heavyweight thriller? Josh Hokit and Curtis Blaydes gave us a wild, respectful war with the perfect dance partner energy, and now Hokit turns around to face Derrick Lewis on the White House card the President asked for.
Any storybook endings? Cub Swanson iced Nate Landwehr with his kids just steps away, a fitting curtain call for the last WEC stalwart.
Who surprised you with growth? Aaron Pico blended speed, wrestling, and patience like never before; if that version shows up every time, he’s trouble for names like Movsar, Volkanovski, and Diego Lopes.
How did the rest shake out? Kevin Holland steadied himself after getting clipped and leaned on smart grappling to beat Randy Brown. Mateusz Gamrot subbed Esteban Ribovics, Tatiana Suarez tapped Lupi Godinez, Vicente Luque grabbed a middleweight submission for the record books, and Charles Radtke outpointed Francisco Prado. One bout was called a draw, though I edged it for Madera on cleaner work.
Who gets Performance of the Night? Ulberg, for starching a terrifying contender while barely able to plant—power, poise, and heart on full display.
