Carlos Ulberg, after receiving some media backlash, has had to explain his baffling call out after UFC 293. Ulberg made his call out of UFC veteran Dominik Reyes after his third round submission win against Jung Da Un.
It’s Safe to say that Carlos Ulberg’s call out of Dominik Reyes has been met with mixed signals by the fans. While an exciting match up, many feel that Carlos Ulberg may be shooting a bit too low to call a fight with the thirteenth ranked light heavyweight. Ulberg however, is undeterred and continues to call out the Brazilian.
In an interview with MMA junkie, Ulberg said: ‘I like it because he has been in there. He’s been in there with Jon Jones. Five rounds with Jon Jones, we know went. I thin that would be a step up big time. He’s number thirteen right now, that’s the spot I want.’
