New champion Carlos Ulberg revealed he has already lost track of his championship belt following his victory celebration. Ulberg stated he didn't want to carry the belt around with him during the post-fight festivities. He believes the belt is still at the apartment where the party took place. Ulberg joked that one of his friends is probably sleeping with it. The lighthearted admission shows the relaxed attitude of the newly crowned champion in the immediate aftermath of his title win.
Carlos Ulberg has admitted he is not entirely sure where his new UFC Light Heavyweight Championship belt ended up following his post-fight celebrations.
The newly crowned champion, who fights out of New Zealand's City Kickboxing, revealed he made a deliberate choice not to carry the belt around with him during the victory party. Ulberg said he believes it is still at the apartment where the celebrations took place, and joked that one of his friends is probably asleep with it somewhere.
Ulberg, nicknamed "Black Jag," is 35 years old and carries a professional record of 15 wins and 1 loss. Standing six-foot-four with a 77-inch reach, the orthodox striker is one of the more physically imposing champions in the division. His numbers back up his dangerous reputation — he lands an impressive 6.54 significant strikes per minute at a 55 percent accuracy rate, making him one of the more efficient and high-volume strikers the Light Heavyweight division has seen.
Why it matters
- Ulberg becomes New Zealand's latest UFC champion, adding to City Kickboxing's growing legacy of title holders
- His 15-1 record and elite striking output signal he arrives as a credible long-term champion at 205 pounds
- The lighthearted belt admission reflects a relaxed, confident champion comfortable in the moment after a hard-earned title win
