Dricus Du Plessis remains without an announced opponent four months after his unanimous-decision win over Kamaru Usman, leaving the middleweight division in flux following his 2025 title loss to Khamzat Chimaev. Multiple ranked contenders hold comparable implied probabilities near 50 percent in the market because official injury reports, contract negotiations, and UFC matchmaking priorities have yet to produce a confirmed booking. Nassourdine Imavov leads named options at 21.1 percent amid discussions of a potential title eliminator, while Sean Strickland sits at 6.4 percent and Chimaev at 0.9 percent due to lingering contract questions and recent activity patterns. The tight spread reflects traders pricing in several viable stylistic matchups, rest advantages, and the champion’s stated preference for another shot at the belt before any move up in weight.
