This market will resolve according to the fighter that is ranked first in the UFC Pound-For-Pound rankings on December 31, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET. If, for any reason, there is no fighter ranked first in the UFC Pound-For-Pound Rankings at this market’s check-time, 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).Islam Makhachev holds the strongest trader consensus at 54.5% for UFC pound-for-pound number one by year-end 2026 thanks to his recent welterweight title win, 16-fight win streak, and proven grappling dominance across two divisions. Ilia Topuria sits close behind at 42% on the strength of his undefeated record, lightweight championship acquisition, and explosive striking that has elevated him rapidly in official rankings. Other contenders like Joshua Van, Alexandre Pantoja, and Tom Aspinall trail further back because they lack comparable cross-division success or recent momentum against elite competition, while lower-priced names reflect limited paths to sustained pound-for-pound supremacy amid upcoming title defenses and potential super fights.
