Carlos Ulberg, the rising UFC star, is on a winning streak and setting his sights on bigger challenges. After his impressive 12-second knockout victory over Alonzo Menifield at UFC St. Louis, Ulberg is now eyeing a spot in the top 10 of the light heavyweight division.
With his sixth consecutive win, Ulberg not only secured a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus but also earned a spot in the UFC’s light heavyweight top 15, ranking at number 11. The 33-year-old fighter is now looking forward to his next fight and is aiming for a matchup with a top-ranked opponent.
Ulberg expressed his desire to compete against someone in the top 10 or even the top five of the division. With the recent withdrawal of Khalil Rountree from a scheduled fight against Jamahal Hill, Ulberg sees an opportunity to step in and showcase his skills against a top contender.
In addition to seeking a short-notice fight opportunity, Ulberg is also interested in competing at UFC Paris, which is set to take place on Sept. 28 at Accor Arena. The event will mark the UFC’s third visit to Paris, and Ulberg is eager to make his debut in Europe.
As Ulberg continues to climb the ranks in the UFC, fans can expect to see more exciting performances from the Kiwi fighter as he pursues his goal of becoming a champion in the light heavyweight division.
