Carlos Ulberg expanded his win rack to eight in a row with a victory at UFC London.
Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Jan Blachowicz returned to the Octagon in UFC London for the first time in two years on Saturday when he took on the rising competitioner, Carlos Ulberg.
In his last fight, Blachowicz was given the task of welcome Alex Pereira to the light heavyweight division and unfortunately lost a split decision of the razor-close to the Brazilian.
Ulberg, on the other hand, had become a favorite under the fan base because of his eccentric lifestyle outside fighting and his exciting seven-fighter profit reak.

Carlos Ulberg beats Nutel Jan Bachowicz on UFC London
Round one between the large light heavyweights played extremely for the time being, with both hunters extremely wary of the power of the other.
The second five minutes played extremely in the same way when 'Black Jag' tried to show his elite kickboxing skills, but 'Polish Power' caught the Australian with a few large counters stikes.
The 34-year-old began to dictate the pace of the fight and various legs land the front leg of the 42-year-old veteran.
Nevertheless, neither fighter managed to find the finish series in the second round, both back to their stools for the final round.
Although both hunters knew that they had to get in round three and put a stamp on the fight, the first few minutes did not play any other than the first two.
The former 205 pound champion tried to set up some forward pressure during the second half of the round, but he was caught squeezing the counter when he got in reach.
After 15 passive minutes of both hunters, as soon as the last horn sounded, both hunters stared down each other and shouted in each other's faces. The scor cards of the judge were needed and Ulberg was given the 29-28 victory, which extended his wintreak to eight in a row.
Carlos Ulberg calls for a light heavyweight title fight after winning
After the biggest victory of his career so far, Ulberg called for a title shot against Magomed Ankalaev, who recently dethroned Alex Pereira on UFC 313.
“The longest wintreak in the light heavyweight division, so the only thing that remains for me is a title shot and that is all there is,” said Ulberg in his interview after the fight.
Although the Aussie called on the next title shot, Ankalaev responded to his callout and claimed that Pereira deserves a rematch and that is what the next one is for him after the date of the date earlier this week.
“Good victory for Carlos, but Alex is the next one. He earns it more than anyone,” said Ankalaev.
After a 'non -characteristic' version of Pereira, Joe Rogan claimed that the Brazilian went to his UFC 313 fight with a broken hand and norovirus and answered some question marks about his performance.
