UFC champion<\/a> Carlos Ulberg says he lost his championship belt that he just won after capturing the light heavyweight title at UCF 327.<\/p>\n

He told Fox Sports Australia<\/u><\/a> Monday he misplaced his golden title belt while celebrating his victory.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n

“First, someone gives you a champagne to celebrate. Then one thing leads to another, and you\u2019re doing shots.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

But Ulberg said he\u2019s fairly confident his belt will be found before he heads to Las Vegas<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

“I didn\u2019t want to be carrying the belt around, so I think it\u2019s still there at the apartment somewhere. One of the boys probably has it in bed with him,” Ulberg said.<\/p>\n
