Did Carlos Ulberg Lose His UFC Title? A Closer Look at 'Black Jag's' UFC 327 Post-Fight Celebration

Carlos Ulberg captured the light heavyweight title at UFC 327 in Miami on Saturday by knocking out Jiri Prochazka, then revealed he misplaced his golden title belt while celebrating his victory.
Initially planning not to drink, the 35-year-old from New Zealand admitted that celebratory champagne led to shots. "OK, I'll have another, and another, and another," Ulberg said.
Fighting through an injured right knee, Ulberg faced potential surgery after doctors advised him he needed the procedure. "Okay, let's get it done," Ulberg said, acknowledging the serious injury.
Ulberg plans to fly to Las Vegas in the next few days for medical evaluations at the UFC Performance Institute. "I think I'll fly to Las Vegas in the next few days and see the doctors there," he said.
With his recovery timeline uncertain, fans fear Black Jag might need to vacate his newly won gold soon after capturing it. The UFC may hold an interim title fight to fill the vacancy.
