NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
UFC champion Carlos Ulberg says he lost his championship belt that he just won after capturing the light heavyweight title at UCF 327.
He told Fox Sports Australia Monday he misplaced his golden title belt while celebrating his victory.
“I’ve lost the belt, bro,” Ulberg told FOX Sports. “Initially after winning, the plan was to not have a drink. But you know how these things go, right?” he said.
“First, someone gives you a champagne to celebrate. Then one thing leads to another, and you’re doing shots.”

The 35-year-old from New Zealand fought through a knee injury to defeat Jiri Prochazka in the main event at UFC 327 by knockout this weekend in Miami to become the new champion of the light heavyweight division.
His injury could keep him sidelined for a year, meaning he will have to give up his champion status anyway, with UCF holding an interim title fight to take his place.

But Ulberg said he’s fairly confident his belt will be found before he heads to Las Vegas to get further evaluation from doctors on his knee. He then plans to spend time at the UFC Performance Institute before returning to New Zealand to be with family.

“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 said.

Saudi Arabia fire coach Renard 2 months before World Cup
Saudi Arabia fired head coach Hervé Renard on Friday, less than two months before the World Cup.
RMC Sport first reported that Renard had been sacked, with the Frenchman confirming the report to AFP.
The 57-year-old Renard returned in 2024 for a second stint at the helm of the Green Falcons, having previously led the country to the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.
In Qatar, Renard was in charge as Saudi Arabia defeated eventual champions Argentina 2-1 in a historic group-stage stunner.
Renard then left to take over the French women’s national team at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics before returning to Saudi Arabia for a second time.
The news of Renard’s departure comes just three days after ESPN reported that Matt Crocker was leaving his job as U.S. Soccer Federation sporting director to take up a similar role with the Saudi Arabia soccer federation.
Saudi Arabia will play in Group H with Spain, Cape Verde, and Uruguay at the 2026 World Cup.
Its opening match will be against Uruguay on June 15.

Frank Lampard: Coventry City boss praises ‘special and unique’ promotion
Coventry City boss Frank Lampard described his side’s promotion back to the Premier League after 25 years away as a “unique” achievement.
The Sky Blues secured a top-two finish in the Championship with three games to spare courtesy of a 1-1 draw at struggling Blackburn Rovers.
“To go and get promotion automatically as a non-parachute [payment] team with three games to go… these boys have managed to achieve something special and unique,” Lampard told Sky Sports.
“This is what it’s about. Coming here and getting a point at this stage isn’t easy.”
He added: “Doing this after 25 years… wow.
“The resilience to come back after losing in the play-offs (last season to Sunderland). We spoke in the summer about what we could do this season and whether we could finish third or fourth to get a home play-off in the second game which we didn’t do last year.
“It’s such a good feeling that the boys have managed to get it over the line.”
The former Chelsea and England midfielder, 47, took over at the CBS Arena in November 2024 for his first job outside the top flight since a season at Derby in 2018-19.
An emotional Lampard, who also credited the “incredible” job his predecessor Mark Robins had done, said he had “fallen in love” with the club during his time in the Midlands and ranked leading Coventry back to the top flight alongside his many accolades as a player.
“I’m proud of myself and the staff,” he said.
“We came into a bit of an unknown 15 or so months ago when we arrived in a people carrier.
“We’ve fallen in love and this is right up there with what I have achieved.
“I’m very proud to be the manager.”
