Quick read
Carlos Ulberg's manager Ash Belcastro has confirmed that the light heavyweight fighter suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Belcastro stated that Ulberg's surgery went "very well" and that the fighter is focused on returning as soon as possible. However, recovery from an ACL tear can take up to 12 months, making it uncertain whether Ulberg will compete again in 2026. The injury raises questions about whether the UFC should introduce an interim title in the light heavyweight division during his absence. Ulberg had been a rising contender in the 205-pound weight class before this setback.
