Carlos Ulberg claimed the vacant light heavyweight title with a first-round knockout over Jiří Procházka at UFC 327 on April 11, highlighting the division's volatility after Alex Pereira vacated to pursue heavyweight opportunities against Ciryl Gane. Earlier in 2026, Charles Oliveira dethroned Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 326 in March for featherweight gold, while Justin Gaethje secured interim lightweight honors in January versus Paddy Pimblett. Bantamweight sees Petr Yan defending against contenders like Merab Dvalishvili amid ongoing rivalry, and middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev faces Sean Strickland soon. Rising undefeated talents such as Umar Nurmagomedov in bantamweight add upset potential through the year's remaining title bouts and contender wins.
