Carlos Ulberg-Da Un Jung Pick and Prediction
Best UFC 293 Picks: Carlos Ulberg vs. Da Un Jung Odds
Carlos Ulberg: Opened -300, Now -290 | Da Un Jung: Opened +230, Now +225
Primarily a striker, Ulberg has a boxing and kickboxing background. He is 8-1 in his career with six knockouts, and his only loss came against Kennedy Nzechukwu via knockout back in 2021. In the UFC, he lands 8.13 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 3.45. Ulberg is not much of a threat on the ground, but he has defended takedowns at 100%. It should be noted that he has fought a bunch of bums in the UFC, potentially inflating this line.
Jung has a 15-4 professional record with 11 knockouts and two submissions. Among his losses, he has been knocked out and submitted once apiece. In the Octagon, he lands 3.39 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 3.53. He also lands 2.1 takedowns on average with 80% takedown defense. While these stats look lackluster, Jung has fought the superior competition, including Clark and Dustin Jacoby in his last two appearances.
It will be interesting to see Ulberg take on an actual UFC fighter. To this point, the UFC has treated him favorably, and the same cannot be said for Jung. With a well-rounded skill set on the Jung side, playing the underdog at +225 makes sense.
