Carlos Ulberg's manager Ash Belcastro has confirmed that the light heavyweight fighter suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The surgery went "very well" according to the manager, and Ulberg is focused on returning as quickly as possible. Recovery from an ACL tear typically takes up to 12 months, meaning it is uncertain whether Ulberg will compete in the octagon by the end of 2026. The injury raises questions about whether an interim title should be introduced in the division.
