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

Carlos Ulberg's title victory marks the 20th UFC championship for Australia and New Zealand combined, counting the disputed Whittaker-Romero rematch. By titles per capita, Australia and New Zealand lead globally with one title per 1.6 million residents, ahead of North America and other regions. The analysis includes Dagestan comparisons and Hawaiian statistics. The region's combat sports success extends to boxing with champions like Jay Opetaia, Joseph Parker, George Kambosos, and Tim Tszyu. Australia ranked fourth in total gold medals at Paris 2024 Olympics with 18, while New Zealand placed 11th with 10 medals despite having only 5 million population.
