The full salaries from UFC 327 have been revealed on a night where a new light heavyweight champion was crowned in spectacular fashion.

With previous 205-pound champion Alex Pereira having vacated this title in order to move up to heavyweight on the UFC Freedom 250 card at White House in June, Jiri Prochazka and Carlos Ulberg did battle for the vacant crown at the Kaseya Center in Miami.

Their battle may have lasted less than a round, but it is a fight that will live long in the memory of all who witnessed it.

Heading into the main event, oddsmakers could barely split the two title hopefuls. However, the bout looked to have taken a decisive turn when Ulberg suffered a devastating injury with less than two minutes on the clock.

The New Zealander took an awkward step as he moved around the Octagon, at which point his entire right appeared to give way. Despite being massively handicapped in the contest from that point on, the 35-year-old was determined to fight on.

With Carlos barely able to stand, Prochazka saw his opportunity to finish the bout. However, as the Czech Republic fighter moved in to close the show, Ulberg pulled off one of the most remarkable comebacks in UFC history.

Catching Prochazka flush with a left hook, Carlos sent his opponent crashing to the canvas. Referee Marc Goddard gave Jiri every chance to recover, but the damage was done and the official eventually waved the fight off at 3:45 of the opening round.

After the fight, Ulberg admitted that he was 75 seconds away from losing the fight as he was convinced he would not have been allowed to continue in after the end of the fight round. His take was later backed up by a specialist doctor in sports injuries, who diagnosed the injured fighter with an ACL tear that is likely to take at least a year to heal.

The pair put on a gripping back-and-forth slugfest to claim Fight of the Night hours, with the triumph also helping Hokit to secure a surprise spot on the UFC White House Card.
