Carlos Ulberg Loses UFC Belt After Miami Celebration; Paulo Costa Offers to Return It

Newly crowned UFC light heavyweight champion Carlos Ulberg has reportedly lost his title belt following his victory at UFC 327. The belt went missing during celebrations in Miami after Ulberg’s first-round knockout win over Jiri Prochazka.

Ulberg, who secured the vacant light heavyweight championship with a dramatic knockout, admitted in an interview that he has no clear recollection of the belt’s whereabouts after a night of celebrating. He believes it might still be at a friend’s apartment where the afterparty continued.

Fellow UFC fighter Paulo Costa, who also secured a win at UFC 327, humorously commented on the situation via social media. Costa shared a video of himself with Ulberg and playfully suggested he would return the belt if he found it, stating, “I’m Brazilian, but I have not with that. If I find it, I’ll let you know.”
