Carlos Ulberg undergoes ACL surgery, recovery could sideline him 12 months

UFC light heavyweight contender Carlos Ulberg has suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), according to his manager Ash Belcastro. The fighter has already undergone surgery, which Belcastro described as having gone "very well." Ulberg is reportedly focused on returning to competition as quickly as possible, but full recovery from such an injury typically requires up to 12 months of rehabilitation. The extended timeline raises questions about whether the UFC should implement an interim title in the light heavyweight division during his absence.
