Joe Pyfer’s recent TKO of Israel Adesanya elevated him to top-five middleweight contender status, making a high-profile next bout likely. Caio Borralho leads market pricing after the pair had an agreed UFC 330 matchup canceled by Borralho’s rib injury and subsequent surgery; both fighters have publicly confirmed interest in rescheduling the contest once Borralho returns. Dricus du Plessis sits second as a former champion whose power and wrestling create stylistic intrigue, though he remains focused on other ranked opponents. Lower-priced names such as Nassourdine Imavov, Anthony Hernandez, and Brendan Allen represent plausible alternatives if matchmaking prioritizes fresh rankings climbs or short-notice availability, yet none carry the same pre-existing momentum or direct history with Pyfer.
