Carlos Ulberg undergoes ACL surgery, may be out 12 months

Carlos Ulberg's manager Ash Belcastro confirmed that the fighter suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and has undergone surgery. Belcastro stated that the operation went "very well" and that Ulberg is focused on returning as quickly as possible. Recovery is expected to take up to 12 months, making it uncertain whether Ulberg will compete again before the end of 2026. The post raises the question of whether the UFC should introduce an interim title during his absence.
