UFC light heavyweight contender Carlos Ulberg has suffered a torn ACL and has undergone surgery, according to his manager Ash Belcastro. Belcastro confirmed the surgery went "very well" and that Ulberg is "focused on returning as soon as possible." However, recovery from ACL reconstruction typically takes up to 12 months, meaning Ulberg may not compete until late 2026 at the earliest. The post raises the question of whether an interim title should be introduced during his absence. Ulberg was a rising contender in the division before the injury.
