Carlos Ulberg undergoes ACL surgery, out up to 12 months

UFC light heavyweight Carlos Ulberg has suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), his manager Ash Belcastro confirmed. The surgery went "very well" according to Belcastro, and Ulberg is focused on returning as quickly as possible. However, recovery from ACL reconstruction typically requires up to 12 months, casting doubt on whether Ulberg will compete at all in late 2026. The post raises the question of whether an interim title should be introduced during his absence, though it's unclear if Ulberg holds a championship.
