Newly crowned UFC light heavyweight champion Carlos Ulberg has already lost his title. Not in a competitive sense, but rather that he has simply misplaced the gold belt.
Ulberg revealed to Fox Sports Australia on Monday that, “I’ve lost the belt, bro. I don’t know exactly where it is. Initially after winning, the plan was to not have a drink. But you know how these things go, right? First, someone gives you a champagne to celebrate. Then one thing leads to another and you’re doing shots. So it’s ‘OK, I’ll have another, and another, and another…’ We’ve got a big group of boys over here in Miami and, when the fight was done, we all went out to the afterparty at a nightclub.
“Then after that, it was back to one of the boys’ apartments and we all hung out there. I didn’t want to be carrying the belt around so I think it’s still there at the apartment somewhere. One of the boys probably has it in bed with him.”
Carlos Ulberg defeated former champion Jiri Prochazka for the then-vacant title in the UFC 327 main event in Miami on Saturday.
