Dana White refuses interim title while Pereira recovers; Ulberg awaits meeting

Dana White has stated he will not strip Carlos Ulberg of a title shot or introduce an interim championship belt while Alex Pereira recovers. White indicated the situation will only be resolved after a personal meeting with those involved. This suggests the UFC is committed to waiting for Pereira's return rather than creating an interim title. Ulberg remains the top contender for the light heavyweight championship. The decision means the division will remain in limbo until Pereira is cleared to compete and a title fight can be scheduled.
