Carlos Ulberg suffers ACL tear, recovery could take 12 months

Carlos Ulberg's manager Ash Belcastro has confirmed that the fighter has suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The manager stated that the surgery went "very well" and that Ulberg is "focused on returning as soon as possible." However, recovery from this injury could take up to 12 months, meaning it is uncertain whether Ulberg will be able to compete in the octagon by the end of 2026. The post raises the question of whether an interim title should be introduced given the extended absence. Ulberg holds a championship in his division, though the specific title is not mentioned in the post.
