Carlos Ulberg suffers torn ACL, out up to 12 months

Carlos Ulberg's manager Ash Belcastro confirmed that the fighter suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament. The manager stated that the surgery went "very well" and that Ulberg is "focused on returning as soon as possible." Recovery is expected to take up to 12 months, making it uncertain whether Ulberg will compete in the octagon by the end of 2026. The injury raises questions about whether an interim title should be introduced during his absence.
