Carlos Ulberg secured what is counted as the 20th UFC title victory for Australia and New Zealand, including a disputed count from the Whittaker-Romero rematch. The region leads all others in title victories per capita, with one title win per 1.6 million population. This surpasses North America (1 per 2.3 million), South America (1 per 6.3 million), Russia and CIS (1 per 8.3 million), and Western Europe (1 per 11.6 million). The post attributes the region's success in MMA, boxing, and Olympics to well-developed sports science and cultural infrastructure. Roman Fomin, UFC Performance Institute's sports science director, has previously stated that Australian sports science is among the best in the world.
