Quick read
Carlos Ulberg's manager Ash Belcastro has confirmed that the light heavyweight contender suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The manager reported that Ulberg's surgery went "very well" and the fighter 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 at the earliest. The injury raises questions about whether the UFC should introduce an interim title in the light heavyweight division. The lengthy recovery timeline represents a significant setback for Ulberg's championship aspirations.
