Sean Strickland enters the final months of 2026 as the clear market favorite for UFC middleweight champion, buoyed by his split-decision upset over Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 328 in May to claim a second title reign. The former champion's veteran experience, striking volume, and recent form have shaped trader consensus around his ability to navigate remaining defenses. Nassourdine Imavov sits second, riding a five-fight win streak highlighted by a decision victory over Caio Borralho, with reports positioning him for the next title opportunity. Chimaev remains a factor despite the loss, reflecting his prior dominance after claiming the belt from Dricus Du Plessis in 2025, while lower-probability names like Anthony Hernandez and Brendan Allen trail amid a stacked division where schedule timing and matchmaking will dictate the year-end outcome.
