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, casting doubt on whether Ulberg will compete again in 2026. The post raises the question of whether an interim title should be introduced during his absence. Ulberg is the current UFC light heavyweight champion.
