Magomed Ankalaev’s fifth-round TKO victory over short-notice replacement Bogdan Guskov at UFC Abu Dhabi on July 25 leaves his next matchup wide open just two days later. With no official announcement and the light heavyweight division featuring several ranked contenders, trader consensus reflects broad uncertainty, keeping implied probabilities clustered near even money for multiple options. Paulo Costa’s lower price signals interest in a potential weight-class move, while Carlos Ulberg and Jiri Prochazka draw support as established 205-pound threats with stylistic appeal. Recent form, divisional positioning after Ankalaev’s title reign, and matchmaking flexibility for high-profile cards continue to shape the competitive spread until clearer reports emerge.
