Carlos Ulberg's climb up the UFC light heavyweight rankings continues on following possibly the biggest win of his career thus far at UFC Macau, where he took a decision over former title challenger Volkan Oezdemir.

Though neither man was able to get the knockout blow, both threw with pressure and power over the course of 15 minutes. Plenty of punching from the pair in the first round saw Oezdemir try to bring the pressure, but "Black Jag" landed the stronger strikes and a number of counter-shots on his Swiss opponent.

Ulberg ultimately took all three judges' scorecards with two 30-27s and one 29-28.
