Carlos Ulberg wants to put himself in position to fight for the UFC’s light heavyweight title, and sees a matchup against another former title challenger as a logical next opponent. At UFC Fight Night 248 at Galaxy Arena in Macau, Ulberg (11-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) picked up a unanimous decision over Volkan Oezdemir, who fought for the division’s title against Daniel Cormier in 2018. Next, Ulberg wants a crack at a more recent title challenger, Khalil Rountree, who fought Alex Pereira at UFC 307 last month. “Obviously Khalil had that opportunity last time, so I think for the next step, my next step would be up against a guy like Khalil Rountree,” Ulberg told UFC.com in a post-fight interview
