Carlos Ulberg undergoes ACL surgery, out up to 12 months

UFC light heavyweight Carlos Ulberg has suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and undergone surgery, according to his manager Ash Belcastro. The manager confirmed the surgery went "very well" and that Ulberg is focused on returning as soon as possible. Recovery from ACL surgery typically takes up to 12 months, meaning Ulberg may not compete again until late 2026. The post raises the question of whether the UFC should introduce an interim title during his absence. This represents a significant setback for the division's title picture.
