Quick read
Carlos Ulberg's manager Ash Belcastro confirmed the light heavyweight contender suffered a torn ACL and has undergone surgery. Belcastro stated the operation went "very well" and Ulberg is "aiming to return as soon as possible." The recovery timeline could extend up to 12 months, making it uncertain whether Ulberg will compete at all in 2026. The post raises questions about whether the UFC should introduce an interim title given the extended absence. Ulberg had been emerging as a top contender in the division before the injury.
