Carlos Ulberg suffers torn ACL, recovery may take up to 12 months

Carlos Ulberg's manager Ash Belcastro confirmed that the light heavyweight contender suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Belcastro stated that the surgery went "very well" and that Ulberg is "aiming to return as soon as possible." However, recovery from an ACL tear typically takes up to 12 months, meaning Ulberg may not compete again until late 2026 at the earliest. The post raised questions about whether an interim title should be introduced due to the extended absence, though it's unclear if Ulberg was scheduled for a title fight.
