Carlos Ulberg suffers torn ACL, recovery could take up to 12 months

Manager Ash Belcastro confirmed that Carlos Ulberg has suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Belcastro stated that the surgery went "very well" and Ulberg is "aiming to return as soon as possible." However, the recovery process could take up to 12 months, making it uncertain whether Ulberg will be able to compete in the octagon by the end of 2026. The injury has sparked discussion about whether an interim title should be introduced in his division.
