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

Carlos Ulberg's manager Ash Belcastro has 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 an ACL tear typically takes up to 12 months, meaning it's uncertain whether Ulberg will compete in the Octagon by the end of 2026. The post raises the question of whether the UFC should introduce an interim title during Ulberg's absence. Details about when or how the injury occurred were not provided in the post.
