Carlos Ulberg lands submission win Da Woog Jung after bizarre replay review UFC 293 Highlights

Streaking light heavyweight contender, Carlos Ulberg initially believed he was set to go to the judge’s scorecards for his UFC 293 featured preliminary clash with Da Woon Jung tonight in Sydney, Australia — however, in bizarre fashion, was awarded a late submission win in the third round, after a replay review showed a submission win due to rear-naked choke with just 11 seconds remaining in the bout.

Ulberg, who has landed victories in five consecutive Octagon walks, entered tonight’s pairing with Jung off the back of an impressive first round knockout win over Ihor Portieria at UFC Fight Night Charlotte back in May — earning himself a Performance of the Night bonus to boot.

And now extended his winning run to five consecutive outings, Ulberg sets himself as the current most winningest light heavyweight in the promotion’s division, forcing a late submission win — after replay footage following the conclusion of the bout showed a clear tap due to a rear-naked choke with 11 seconds left in the third and final round.

Ulberg, a training partner of fellow event features, Brad Riddell, Dan Hooker, and middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, got off to a bright start against Negumereanu, slamming home a series of leg kicks to the left calf of the latter.

UFC 259 Bonuses: Kara-France, Medic, Nzechukwu & Ulberg

UFC 259

UFC 259 was hyped to be one of the biggest PPV events of the year, and for the most part, it delivered in an emphatic fashion. However whilst the main card had some impressive performances, most notably Amanda Nunes’ clinical finish of Megan Anderson, all of the events bonuses took place on the prelims.

However, with six finishes out of ten fights, it is clear to see why. Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling’s high paced bantamweight title fight would likely have found a place in the post-fight bonuses, had Yan not landed an illegal knee that led to him being disqualified. Israel Adesanya and Jan Blachowicz’s much anticipated main event fight was somewhat of a lacklustre affair, becoming somewhat of a point fighting matchup up for most of the bout.

Fight Of The Night

There are debatably several fights that could have contested for this post-fight honour, but it was Kennedy Nzechukwu’s KO victory over Carlos Ulberg that claimed the award. Ulberg came out incredibly aggressive, appearing to hurt Nzechukwu early with a barrage of strikes. However, Kennedy survived, and it soon became apparent that Ulberg only appeared to have one thought on his mind, relentless pressure.

Unfortunately, he did not have the cardio or defence to maintain such a gameplan. After having some success towards the end of the first round, Nzechukwu came into the second looking like the considerably less fatigued of the two. As Nzechukwu being pressing forward, Ulberg’s only defence appeared to be reactionary head movement, as he left his hands at this hips. As has been seen on many other occasions, reactions can only keep you safe for so long. Once Ulberg’s back was against the cage, Nzechukwu landed a brutal hook that dropped the New Zealand native.

Performance Of The Night

Uros Medic made an instant impression on the 155lb division, as he put a completely one-sided beat down on Aalon Cruz. Medic dropped Cruz early and swarmed him on the ground. After landing repeated ground and pound to a clearly concussed Cruz, referee Mark Smith eventually called the fight off. A clearly star stuck Medic then gave one of the more unique post-fight interviews with Joe Rogan.

Performance Of The Night

Kai Kara France put on one of the most memorable comeback performances in recent memory to pick up the second FOTN award. Rogerio Bontorin was able to take Kara France down early and secured a body triangle. From there he began working a rear-naked choke, which the commentary team thought was going to result in an early stoppage. However, Kara France continuously hand fought, eventually breaking free with 20 seconds to go. From there he lived up to his nickname ‘Don’t Blink.’ A rapid flurry of strikes led to the walk-off KO for the CKB flyweight and a much deserved post-fight bonus.
