Overview
- Joe Rogan, who spoke Thursday on his podcast, urged the UFC to book an interim light heavyweight title while Carlos Ulberg recovers from ACL surgery.
- UFC president Dana White said the promotion will figure out the 205-pound title plan and has not ruled out an interim belt during Ulberg’s absence.
- Rogan backed Paulo Costa for the interim spot after Costa stopped Azamat Murzakanov in his 205-pound debut at UFC 327.
- He also floated Magomed Ankalaev as the other side of that fight, framing it as a way to keep the division moving.
- Carlos Ulberg had knee surgery in Las Vegas and is rehabbing there for a lengthy spell out, which leaves the new title on hold.
