Quick read

Carlos Ulberg's manager Ash Belcastro has confirmed that the light heavyweight fighter suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament. The surgery has been completed and reportedly went very well. Ulberg is targeting a return as soon as possible, though recovery from ACL surgery typically takes up to 12 months. This timeline means it is uncertain whether Ulberg will be able to compete again in 2026. The post raises the question of whether an interim title should be introduced due to the lengthy absence. Ulberg is a contender in the UFC light heavyweight division.
