Carlos Ulberg suffers ACL tear, recovery may take 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 quickly as possible. Recovery from this type of injury typically takes up to 12 months, meaning Ulberg may not compete in the octagon until late 2026. The post raises the question of whether an interim title should be introduced during his absence. This is a significant setback for Ulberg's competitive timeline.
