The light heavyweight bout between Carlos Ulberg and Jamahal Hill has been made official for UFC 303: McGregor vs Chandler. The pair squares off in the three-round clash, co-headlining the PPV fight card live from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on June 29.
Ulberg replaced Khalil Rountree Jr. The latter withdrew from the contest after taking a banned substance.
Riding a six-fight winning streak, No. 11 Carlos Ulberg (10-1) makes his second Octagon appearance for the year. The 33-year-old native of Auckland, New Zealand is fresh off the win by knockout in 12 seconds against Alonzo Menifield in May in St. Louis.
Former light heavyweight champion and No. 3 Jamahal Hill (12-2-1) also fights for the second time in 2024 and looks to get back in the win column. Chicago’s 33-year-old was KO’d by Alex Pereira in the first round in April at UFC 300 in his bid to regain the title.
