Carlos Ulberg suffers ACL tear, recovery could take up to 12 months

Carlos Ulberg's manager Ash Belcastro has confirmed that the 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. Recovery from this type of injury can take up to 12 months, and it is uncertain whether Ulberg will be able to compete by the end of 2026. The post raises the question of whether an interim title should be introduced during his absence. This is a significant injury setback for the light heavyweight contender.
