Joshua Van holds the edge in trader sentiment as the current UFC flyweight champion following his December 2025 title win over Alexandre Pantoja, who exited early with an elbow injury at UFC 323. Van has since posted a successful defense against Tatsuro Taira, reinforcing his position heading into the remainder of 2026. Pantoja sits close behind with an expected immediate rematch slated for late summer, leveraging his prior multi-year reign and elite experience. Manel Kape and Kyoji Horiguchi draw support from strong recent form and rankings momentum, while Taira benefits from a high-profile title shot opportunity. The division's depth and potential for further title changes keep the market competitive among the top contenders through year-end.
