Carlos Ulberg confirms ACL tear, surgery successful but extended recovery expected

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 an ACL tear can take up to 12 months, making it uncertain whether Ulberg will compete again before the end of 2026. The post raises the question of whether an interim title should be introduced during his absence.
