UFC: Kiwi Carlos Ulberg makes statement with impressive TKO win over Tafon Nchukwi at UFC Vegas 57

  • 26/06/2022

Kiwi Carlos Ulberg has delivered a statement TKO win at UFC Vegas 57 to claim his second-straight victory in the organisation on Sunday (NZT).                                           

The highly-rated City Kickboxing talent needed just over a minute to record the stoppage win over Tafon Nchukwi in a flawless performance at Las Vegas.

The 'Black Jag' stumbled his opponent with a brutal left hook, before pouncing on a wobbly Nchukwi and forcing referee Herb Dean to call a stop to proceedings just 75 seconds into the fight.

Ulberg now moves to 2-1 in the UFC since making his octagon debut after earning a contract on Dana White's Contender Series in 2020.

UFC stars and fellow City Kickboxing products, Israel Adesanya, Alexander Volkanovski and Brad Riddell were cageside and erupted when their teammate put his adversary away.

Ulberg's impressive victory should set the tone for the trio, who will all feature on a stacked UFC 276 next Sunday.
