Carlos Ulberg's manager Ash Belcastro has 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, recovery from this type of injury typically takes up to 12 months. Given the lengthy rehabilitation timeline, it is uncertain whether Ulberg will be able to compete in the octagon before the end of 2026. The post raises the question of whether an interim title should be introduced during his absence.
