Carlos Ulberg says he lost title belt celebrating UFC 327 win
New UFC Champion Carlos Ulberg Misplaces Title Belt amid Celebration
Carlos Ulberg took an unexpected turn from triumph to tension, as the newly crowned UFC light heavyweight champion revealed he misplaced his title belt while celebrating his hard-fought victory.
The Breaking Point
In a gripping encounter at UFC 327 in Miami, Carlos Ulberg defeated Jiří Procházka by knockout to claim the light heavyweight title, despite battling a knee injury during the match. The victory was a testament to Ulberg's resilience and skill, marking a high point in his MMA career.
Beneath the Surface
However, the celebrations took a chaotic turn. Ulberg told Fox Sports Australia that amidst the revelry, the championship belt was misplaced. He humorously recounted the night, explaining that a celebratory drink led to more, and soon, the belt was no longer in sight.
The Ripple Effect
Despite the missing belt, Ulberg remains confident it is safely tucked away at his apartment or perhaps in the care of one of his friends. He is now focusing on seeking medical evaluation for his knee in Las Vegas, after which he plans to return to New Zealand.
"I've lost the belt, bro," Ulberg said with a laugh, capturing the lightheartedness of the situation despite the seemingly serious predicament.
