Carlos Ulberg wins 20th UFC title for Australia and New Zealand

Carlos Ulberg's championship victory marks the 20th UFC title won by fighters from Australia and New Zealand. The post counts 20 titles rather than the official 19 because it includes Robert Whittaker's rematch with Yoel Romero, which the author argues should have remained a title fight for Whittaker despite Romero missing weight. The analysis shows that Australia and New Zealand lead all regions in UFC title wins per capita, with one title per 1.6 million population. This outpaces North America (one per 2.3 million), South America (one per 6.3 million), and Russia/CIS (one per 8.3 million). The post attributes this success to the strong sports science infrastructure in Australia and New Zealand, citing Roman Fomin from the UFC Performance Institute.
