Carlos Ulberg Wins UFC Light Heavyweight Title at UFC 327
Carlos Ulberg secured the UFC light heavyweight title by defeating Jiří Procházka via knockout at UFC 327 in Miami. Following the victory, Ulberg reported misplacing his championship belt during celebrations.
Carlos Ulberg won the UFC light heavyweight title by knocking out Jiří Procházka at UFC 327, which took place this weekend in Miami. Ulberg, a 35-year-old fighter from New Zealand, fought through an apparent injury to his right knee during the match. Following his victory, Ulberg told Fox Sports Australia on Monday that he misplaced his golden title belt while celebrating.
He stated, 'I've lost the belt, bro,' and explained that the initial plan was to refrain from drinking, but he ended up consuming champagne, which led to further celebrations. Ulberg mentioned that he has not yet had his knee injury checked and has not visited a hospital. He expressed confidence that his belt would be found before he travels to Las Vegas for further evaluation.
Ulberg plans to spend time at the UFC Performance Institute after his medical assessment and intends to return to New Zealand to be with family afterward. He noted that he did not want to carry the belt around, suggesting it might still be at the apartment where he celebrated, possibly with one of his friends.
The event occurred hours after Ulberg's title win at UFC 327, marking a significant achievement in his career.
