This market will resolve according to the official UFC Bantamweight division champion on December 31, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET. Only official UFC division champions will count. Interim champions will not count. If the relevant belt is vacant at this market’s check time, or there is otherwise no champion in the specified division, this market will resolve to “Other”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the UFC (https://www.ufc.com/athletes).Trader consensus in the UFC Bantamweight title market through 2026 reflects a tightly contested field, with Petr Yan at 29%, Umar Nurmagomedov at 27.5%, and Aiemann Zahabi at 26.2% leading a bunched top tier amid uncertainty from champion Merab Dvalishvili's (23%) upcoming defense against undefeated contender Umar at UFC 311 on January 18. Yan's veteran pedigree and recent decision win over Cory Sandhagen (21.8%) positions him as a rematch threat, while Zahabi's five-fight win streak, including a submission of Pedro Munhoz, fuels dark-horse buzz. Former champ Sean O'Malley (16.5%) lags post-loss, but stylistic edges, rankings shifts, and potential upsets in a deep division keep probabilities volatile over the two-year horizon.
