Carlos Ulberg suffers torn ACL, out up to 12 months after surgery

Carlos Ulberg's manager Ash Belcastro confirmed that the fighter suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The surgery went "very well," and Ulberg is focused on returning as soon as possible. However, recovery could take up to 12 months, making it uncertain whether he will compete in the octagon by the end of 2026. The injury raises questions about whether an interim title should be introduced in his division while he recovers. The extended timeline means fans may not see Ulberg back in action for at least a year.
