Carlos Ulberg's victory secured the 20th UFC championship for Australia and New Zealand, though officially only 19 titles are counted because the Whittaker vs. Romero rematch was incorrectly stripped of title status. The analysis notes that Australia and New Zealand lead all continents in UFC title victories per capita, with one title per 1.6 million population. This surpasses North America (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 post also highlighted the region's success in boxing with champions like Jay Opetaia, Joseph Parker, George Kambosos, and Tim Tszyu, plus strong Olympic performances. Sports scientist Roman Fomin credits Australian sports science as among the world's best.
