Newly crowned UFC light heavyweight champion Carlos Ulberg says he has lost track of his title belt after a night of celebrating in Miami following UFC 327.
Ulberg knocked out Jiri Prochazka in the main event, injuring his knee early in the fight but opting for an afterparty instead of an immediate hospital visit. He later admitted he no longer knows the exact whereabouts of his new hardware.
“I’ve lost the belt, bro,” Ulberg said. “… 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,” Ulberg added.
Ulberg expects to get imaging and treatment for his injured knee in Las Vegas sometime this week.
