Carlos Ulberg's victory earned the 20th UFC championship win for Australia and New Zealand combined, though officially recorded as 19 due to the Whittaker-Romero rematch being stripped of title status. The post provides extensive analysis showing Australia and New Zealand lead the world in UFC title wins per capita, with one title victory per 1.6 million people. This outpaces North America (1 per 2.3 million), South America (1 per 6.3 million), Russia and CIS (1 per 8.3 million), and Western Europe (1 per 11.6 million). The analysis attributes this success to superior sports science and cultural development in the region, citing UFC Performance Institute director Roman Fomin who considers Australian sports science among the world's best.
