This market will resolve according to the official UFC Heavyweight division champion on December 31, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET. Only official UFC division champions will count. Interim champions will not count. If the relevant belt is vacant at this market’s check time, or there is otherwise no champion in the specified division, 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).The UFC heavyweight division's title race stays tightly bunched through mid-2026 because undisputed champion Tom Aspinall remains sidelined with an eye injury from his October 2025 bout, opening the door for an interim title fight between Ciryl Gane and Alex Pereira's heavyweight debut. Recent results have kept several contenders viable, including Serghei Spivac's unanimous decision win over Ante Delija in February, while fighters like Waldo Cortes Acosta, Jailton Almeida, and Derrick Lewis maintain strong records and stylistic matchups that could lead to title shots. Trader consensus prices reflect this uncertainty, with no single fighter holding a dominant edge as the division awaits clarity on Aspinall's return timeline and potential upsets in upcoming summer bouts.
