The UFC light heavyweight division has been turned upside down.

Champion Carlos Ulberg is sidelined after tearing his ACL, meaning he'll likely be out until 2027 after capturing the belt in incredible fashion at UFC 327.

Meanwhile, Magomed Ankalaev returned at UFC Abu Dhabi with a win over Bogdan Guskov, but the performance left plenty of fans unconvinced. Even Ulberg himself weighed in with a telling four-word response.

And then there's Paulo Costa ...

Fresh off his successful light heavyweight debut, Costa has just one fight remaining on his UFC contract and is publicly asking for a fight. Could he become one of the biggest wildcards in the division?
