Ulberg is the reigning UFC light heavyweight champion, a City Kickboxing product who took the vacant belt by knocking out Jiří Procházka in the first round at UFC 327 despite blowing out his knee moments earlier. A former professional kickboxer, he fights long, patient, and heavy-handed off his 6'4" frame. He has won 11 straight since his lone loss in 2021 and is New Zealand's first UFC light heavyweight champion.
