Winning streak hits seven
Ulberg defeated Volkan Oezdemir via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Macau, China.
ANALYSIS
Ulberg entered with stoppage wins in each of his past five fights, with four of them coming in Round 1. He was fresh off a 12-second knockout of Alonzo Menifield in May. Yes, he won this fight, but it would have been nice to see him do so a bit more convincingly considering he was facing an aging opponent in Oezdemir. Ulberg won the significant strike battle by a 98-96 count, while Volkan failed on the only two takedown attempts of the fight. Carlos is an elite kickboxer and very good at managing distance, so there are going to be nights like this when he's content to point-fight. He should get a more notable name his next time out.

Lionheart instead of Hill
Ulberg will compete against Anthony Smith in a light heavyweight fight at UFC 303 on June 29, according to UFC President Dana White.
ANALYSIS
Initially, Ulberg was scheduled to compete against former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jamahal Hill, who is currently dealing with a knee injury. Instead of facing a top-three contender in the division, Ulberg is settling for fighting a mainstay who recently defied betting odds by defeating Vitor Petrino at UFC 301.
