Carlos Ulberg's championship victory marks the 20th UFC title won by fighters from Australia and New Zealand combined. The post includes the Whittaker-Romero rematch as a title fight despite UFC removing that designation, arguing it should count as a title defense for Whittaker since Romero missed weight but Whittaker made it. The analysis shows that Australia and New Zealand lead all regions in UFC title wins per capita, with one title victory per 1.6 million population. This is compared to North America's one per 2.3 million, South America's one per 6.3 million, Russia and CIS's one per 8.3 million, and Western Europe's one per 11.6 million. The post attributes this success to superior sports science and well-developed sporting culture in the region.
