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

Carlos Ulberg's victory marks the 20th UFC title win for Australia and New Zealand, counting the Whittaker-Romero rematch which should have remained a title fight for Whittaker despite Romero missing weight. Australia and New Zealand lead all regions in UFC title victories per capita with one title win per 1.6 million people, ahead of North America's one per 2.3 million. The post extensively analyzes regional success rates in MMA, boxing, and Olympic performance, attributing Australia and New Zealand's achievements to a well-developed sports culture and strong sports science programs. Roman Fomin, UFC Performance Institute director of sports science, reportedly considers Australian sports science among the best in the world.
