Recent developments in the UFC middleweight division have created substantial uncertainty around Dricus du Plessis' next opponent following his unanimous decision win over Kamaru Usman in July 2026. Du Plessis' coach has publicly targeted a trilogy bout with Sean Strickland, the current champion who reclaimed the belt from Khamzat Chimaev in May, but that matchup hinges on Strickland first facing Nassourdine Imavov in a scheduled November rematch. Imavov remains a live contender with a strong recent record, while Chimaev has been sidelined by injury concerns and is exploring other options. With no official announcement and multiple ranked fighters in contention depending on upcoming results, trader consensus reflects evenly distributed probabilities across leading names.
