Ilia Topuria’s next opponent remains undecided following his fourth-round TKO loss to Justin Gaethje at UFC Freedom 250 in June, with Dana White confirming on September 10 that the former champion has recovered from orbital fractures and other injuries and is cleared to return. White highlighted a Gaethje rematch and a grudge match with Paddy Pimblett as the leading options, noting both bouts would be compelling given the bad blood and drawing power, though Gaethje has ruled out fighting again in 2026 due to hand issues. Pimblett’s long-standing callouts and the division’s depth keep the market tight, with traders assigning Pimblett the highest probability among named fighters while spreading remaining odds across Arman Tsarukyan, Benoit Saint Denis, and other contenders amid ongoing matchmaking discussions.
