Carlos Ulberg suffers ACL tear, recovery could sideline him 12 months

Carlos Ulberg's manager Ash Belcastro has confirmed that the fighter suffered an ACL tear. Belcastro stated that Ulberg's surgery went very well and the fighter is targeting a return as soon as possible. However, recovery from this injury typically takes up to 12 months, meaning Ulberg may not compete in the octagon until late 2026 at the earliest. The extended timeline has raised questions about whether a temporary title should be introduced in his division. The injury represents a significant setback for Ulberg's career momentum.
