Carlos Ulberg has yet to have his injury officially diagnosed after UFC 327

As of his appearance on Monday’s episode of The Ariel Helwani Show on Uncrowned, Carlos Ulberg has yet to have his leg scanned. He’s aware of concerns that he has suffered a torn ACL, but has yet to receive official confirmation.

“It was only a freak accident,” he said of the injury. “What happened was that I pushed off my leg and essentially it was just my knee that gave out and it caused a little bit of vulnerability within the fight… We don’t know needless to say.

“We’re just waiting and I’ll get the scans done after I arrive in Vegas this week and we’ll know all the things once that’s all done… I’ve never done the knee in any respect so I do not know – it’s just swollen for the time being and it’s hard to rise up so there’s definitely something happening there.

“What’s pain, eh? It’s swollen, it takes me some time now to get anywhere so I’m definitely walking like an old fella… It was only a freak accident, the knee felt prefer it was getting in and out of the socket, it felt like a pain there and I couldn’t bear to place any weight on that leg.

“Any time I’d push off the proper foot or put any type of weight on that leg and the pain I needed to undergo was unbearable.”
