Carlos Ulberg's manager Ash Belcastro confirmed that the fighter suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Belcastro stated that the surgery went "very well" and that Ulberg is "focused on returning as soon as possible." Recovery from this injury could take up to 12 months, making it uncertain whether Ulberg will compete in the octagon by the end of 2026. The post raises questions about whether an interim title should be introduced due to the lengthy absence. Ulberg is the current light heavyweight champion.
