Carlos Ulberg suffers torn ACL, recovery may take 12 months

Carlos Ulberg's manager Ash Belcastro 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." However, the recovery process could take up to 12 months, making it uncertain whether Ulberg will compete in the octagon by the end of 2026. The injury raises questions about whether the UFC should introduce an interim title during his absence.
