02:05And listen to me at all times, keep yourself protected.
02:07And I'll tell you to stop, you stop.
02:08If you want to touch, do it now.
02:10God bless.
02:13So Alex Paredes, second reign as light heavyweight champion,
02:17officially comes to an end right here, right now.
02:19He will move up to heavyweight June 14th.
02:21And the vacant title is on the line between Carlos Ullberg and Yuri Prohaska,
02:28who Lorisenko called this week the most exciting fighter in MMA.
02:32Certainly an argument to be made.
02:35All right, here we go.
02:36Round one of a possible five.
02:38Prohaska in red, Ullberg in black.
02:42You know what I was watching?
02:44There are no ushers.
02:45So Ullberg and Ullberg were, like, right next to each other in the outcome
02:48before the fight started.
02:49Yeah, generally there are people to keep them separated.
02:52But it wasn't necessary with these guys.
02:56So Yuri does a lot of weird stuff.
02:59But when it's time for him to finish, he just straightens up his punches.
03:03One, two.
03:03Carlos is already attacking that lead leg,
03:05and Yuri's very heavy on that front leg.
03:08Joe, we talked about that in the locker room.
03:10We talked about Yuri has struggled with low kicks before.
03:14The Rockets fight is a good example of that.
03:16Nice low kick from Prohaska now.
03:25City kickbox very faint, heavy, Jim.
03:28Something Ullberg has tried to master over the years.
03:34Oh, he's got to do something about those.
03:36They're already wobbling him.
03:41You know, most people, whenever they take too many cap kicks,
03:45they start trying to switch stances and everything.
03:47Yuri just starts pursuing you recklessly.
03:50And most guys can't stay with him.
03:56But Ullberg does a wonderful job of setting people up.
04:00Look for him to start jabbing Yuri's body to get his hands to drop,
04:04to try to find that left hook.
04:06Team Thomas, what are you seeing early?
04:07Yeah, I was just going to say that.
04:09You've got to watch the check left hook of Ullberg,
04:11because Yuri has a tendency to run in,
04:14and I'm sure that's what Ullberg is looking for.
04:16He's already attacking that leg.
04:17He's going to get Yuri to run in.
04:18You see the way he's waving that left hand around?
04:21He's trying to catch him with that check hook on the way in.
04:26Oh.
04:29Oh, he hurt his...
04:30It looked like he hurt himself.
04:32His knee or something.
04:33Yeah, I don't know.
04:34He hurt his knee or something.
04:38Oh, that left knee of Ullberg.
04:40Problematic.
04:45Yuri's trying to grab his hand.
04:47That's crazy.
04:49Oh, his leg's sliding.
04:51It's the right knee.
04:52Yeah, it's buckled.
04:54There's something wrong with it.
04:55Yuri's going to stand and fight it.
04:57Yuri, stand there.
04:57Stand there.
04:58Let's fight.
05:01Ullberg really letting it go.
05:06Oh, my goodness.
05:07The right leg is done.
05:09We were just able to see the injury to the right knee
05:11in our isolation monitor.
05:13We'll get that to you in time.
05:17But some adversity for Carlos Ullberg earlier.
05:22Now, we have seen people deal with stuff like this before.
05:25Remember Henry Ceguro on the drop foot?
05:27Yeah, but this is different.
05:28I think his knee is blown out.
05:30That was temporary.
05:31Yeah, well, the ankle, eventually he worked through it.
05:34Now, Ullberg's have to just cut it.
05:37You can see it in the replay.
05:41Oh, he might have, yep.
05:42Might have tore something back there.
05:45Oh!
05:46Yeah.
05:47It's right there.
05:48He can't even stand.
05:50Crazy that he tried that kick.
05:53He's a fighter, man.
05:54He is.
05:55Look at Yuri.
05:56He wants him to just stand with him.
05:58That's so unfortunate.
06:04Nice left hook from Ullberg.
06:06Fighting through it as best he can.
06:08Oh.
06:09He's in trouble.
06:10Yes, he is.
06:11And there's nothing.
06:12Oh!
06:13He got him!
06:15Drops for Oscar.
06:16Aguirre trying to recover.
06:17Oh, he got him!
06:17Over trying to win the world.
06:18Oh, he got him!
06:19Oh, he got him!
06:21Oh, he got him!
06:22Crazy!
06:22Crazy!
06:23Carlos Zalberg!
06:24Oh, my goodness, he got him!
06:28He won the title with a blown-out knee.
06:31That is wild.
06:34Black Jag.
06:36Carlos Zalberg stays present in the fight despite being on one wheel.
06:41And he's the new undisputed light heavyweight king!
06:45That is crazy.
06:48I didn't even see that again.
06:49If he went to the corner, this fight would have been done.
06:52Dr. would have said, you can't go.
06:54Knees blown out.
06:55You can't even stand.
06:56And he knocked him out.
06:57Well, he could definitely stand.
06:58The problem is moving.
06:59I think he blew his ACL.
07:01Oh, my God.
07:02Because his skin was buckling.
07:05Let's take one more look at the injury.
07:07Let's see it here.
07:09Watch how his leg goes backwards.
07:10He plants on it.
07:12Oh, you see it pop.
07:13Oh, yeah, it's cap popped.
07:15Yeah, you see it pop.
07:15Yep.
07:16Oh, it...
07:17Wow.
07:18He's blowing his cap.
07:20The hamstring.
07:21It's...
07:21Something back there popped.
07:23Hey, that check left hook again.
07:24Look at that check left hook.
07:25We've been talking about this thing all night long as his best punch.
07:29And he caught him perfect right on the point of the chin.
07:33Insane.
07:34Dean just said it.
07:35Dean literally just said it.
07:36Look at this again.
07:38Oh, my goodness.
07:39I mean, just perfect.
07:43Carlos Oldberg pulls it out with one leg.
07:48Oh, my goodness.
07:50Incredible.
07:52He's an absolute sniper.
07:53Wow.
07:53And now he is the light heavyweight champion.
07:56And there is the reaction.
07:57Mike Angle, Eugene Behrman, Tristam, and everybody else.
08:01Andre Paulette.
08:03Carlos Oldberg.
08:0410 wins in a row and more importantly, the undisputed light heavyweight champion will talk to him.
