Carlos Ulberg's victory secured the 20th UFC title for Australia and New Zealand, giving the region one title win per 1.6 million population. This rate surpasses all other continents: North America has one per 2.3 million, South America one per 6.3 million, Russia/CIS one per 8.3 million, and Western Europe one per 11.6 million. The analysis includes Robert Whittaker's title defense against Yoel Romero, which the author argues should count despite being officially non-title. The post attributes Australia and New Zealand's combat sports and Olympic success to well-developed sports science and cultural infrastructure. Roman Fomin, UFC Performance Institute director of sports science, previously identified Australian sports science as possibly the world's best.
