Khamzat Chimaev enters 2026 as the reigning UFC Middleweight champion after dominating former titleholder Dricus du Plessis with superior grappling control at UFC 319, fueling trader consensus at 68% implied probability for him holding the belt through year's end. Sean Strickland's recent third-round TKO of Anthony Hernandez at UFC Houston on February 21—where he outstruck the grappler 92-62 and stuffed a takedown—propelled his title shot announcement against Chimaev at UFC 328 on May 9 in Newark, positioning him as the clear No. 2 at 25%. Contenders like Nassourdine Imavov trail after being leapfrogged, while rising prospects Caio Borralho and Brendan Allen garner minimal support amid Chimaev's wrestling pressure and improved cardio from training with Arman Tsarukyan, though Strickland's volume striking and upset potential keep the market competitive.
