NEW YORK – What a year it has been for Carlos Ulberg, and the success continued Saturday at UFC 281.
Ulberg (6-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) kicked off the event at Madison Square Garden with a bang when he punched out Nicolae Negumereanu (13-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) in the first round of the first prelim.
A left jab followed by a left hook initiated the brutal sequence. Negumereanu tried to scramble up to his feet but Ulberg ended that possibility with a pair of violent, diving right hands. The stoppage came at 3:44 of Round 1.
