Carlos Ulberg captured the UFC light heavyweight title by knocking out Jiri Prochazka in the main event of UFC 327 at Kaseya Center in Miami last weekend, fighting through a severely injured right knee. The 35-year-old New Zealander celebrated with the belt but lost it hours later, possibly due to the injury or medical suspension. This shakes up the 205-pound division, leaving it without a champion and opening opportunities for contenders like Magomed Ankalaev. Ulberg's resilience highlights his contender status, but recovery timeline is unclear. Expect interim title talks or a reshuffled title picture soon.[1][5]
