Carlos Ulberg has revealed that he misplaced his UFC light heavyweight championship belt in the aftermath of his victory celebration, admitting he simply did not want to carry it around with him after the party.
The New Zealand fighter, who trains out of City Kickboxing, said he left the belt at an apartment where the celebration took place and believes it is still there. In characteristically relaxed fashion, Ulberg joked that one of his friends is likely asleep somewhere clutching it. The champion appears entirely unbothered by the temporary situation.
Ulberg, nicknamed "Black Jag," is 35 years old and holds a professional record of 15 wins and 1 loss. Standing six-foot-four with a 77-inch reach, he is one of the more physically imposing fighters in the light heavyweight division. His offensive output has been a defining feature of his rise, averaging 6.54 significant strikes landed per minute with a striking accuracy of 55 percent — numbers that place him among the busiest and most precise strikers in the 205-pound weight class.
Why it matters
- Ulberg is now the UFC light heavyweight champion, a title that represents the peak of a division he has steadily climbed through City Kickboxing's elite striking program
- His record of 15-1 and his striking volume signal a fighter who arrived at the top of the division on the strength of consistent, high-output performances
- The lighthearted belt story offers a rare personal glimpse at a champion still processing a milestone achievement
