Carlos Ulberg took just over one minute to complete the task on Saturday in Las Vegas.
The light heavyweight prospect faced Tafon Nchukwi at UFC APEX in the feature preliminary bout. It wasn’t long before he put Nchukwi under threat. While both fighters started cautiously, Ulberg delivered a devastating left hook to Nchukwi. “Black Jag” saw blood in the water and pounced before referee Herb Dean stepped in to call a stop to the action at 1:15 of the opening stanza.

With the win, Ulberg improves to 2-1 in the UFC, and 5-1 overall. The City Kickboxing product earned a contract on Dana White‘s Contender Series in November 2020 and made his octagon debut four months later at UFC 259, where he was stopped by Kennedy Nzechukwu. The 31-year-old bounced back with his first promotional victory nearly a year later at February’s UFC 271 event, where he earned a decision win against Fabio Cherant.
Nchukwi has now been finished in two straight fights, dropping his UFC record to 2-3.
