Carlos Ulberg's victory marks the 20th UFC title win for Australia and New Zealand combined, counting the Whittaker-Romero rematch that should have remained a title fight for Whittaker despite Romero missing weight. The region leads all others in UFC title wins per capita, with one title victory per 1.6 million people, ahead of North America's 1 per 2.3 million. The post extensively compares Australia and New Zealand's combat sports and Olympic success to other regions, attributing their achievements to superior sports culture and science. Roman Fomin, UFC Performance Institute's director of sports science, has stated that Australian sports science is among the best, if not the best, in the world.
