Carlos Ulberg has admitted he misplaced his light heavyweight championship belt almost immediately after winning it, revealing during a recent interview that he left it behind at the apartment where his victory party was held.
The New Zealand fighter, who competes out of City Kickboxing, said he did not want to carry the belt around with him during the celebration and chose to leave it at the venue. Ulberg acknowledged he believes it is still there and jokingly suggested one of his friends is probably sleeping with it.
Ulberg, nicknamed "Black Jag," carries a record of 15 wins and one loss at 35 years of age. Standing six-foot-four with a 77-inch reach, the orthodox striker is ranked third in the light heavyweight division and has built a reputation as one of the more dangerous finishers in the weight class. His numbers reflect an aggressive, high-output style, with 6.54 significant strikes landed per minute and a striking accuracy of 55 percent.
Why it matters
- Ulberg is the newly crowned light heavyweight champion, making this a rare and lighthearted moment of candor from a divisional titleholder
- The anecdote speaks to his relaxed personality and the casual manner in which he is handling the transition to champion status
- City Kickboxing now holds a UFC championship belt — assuming someone at the party finds it
