Quick read

Light heavyweight contender Carlos Ulberg has suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), his manager Ash Belcastro confirmed. The surgery was reportedly successful, and Ulberg is focused on returning as quickly as possible. Recovery from an ACL tear typically takes up to 12 months, meaning Ulberg may not compete again until late 2026. The injury raises questions about whether the UFC should introduce an interim title in the division. Ulberg's timeline for return remains uncertain despite the positive surgical outcome.
