Carlos Ulberg suffers torn ACL, recovery may take 12 months

Carlos Ulberg's manager Ash Belcastro has confirmed that the fighter suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The manager stated that the surgery went very well and that Ulberg is determined to return as soon as possible. However, recovery from this type of injury typically takes up to 12 months, casting doubt on whether Ulberg will compete in the octagon by the end of 2026. The post raises the question of whether an interim title should be introduced during his absence. This represents a significant setback for the light heavyweight contender's career momentum.
