Trader consensus favors Nassourdine Imavov at 62.5% implied probability as Sean Strickland's next opponent following his split decision title win over Khamzat Chimaev in the UFC 328 main event on May 9, driven by Imavov's status as top-ranked middleweight contender and Strickland's post-fight endorsement of UFC rankings for his first defense. Dricus du Plessis sits at 45.5% amid trilogy speculation after previously dethroning Strickland, bolstered by du Plessis's recent claim to informal "champ" status. Chimaev lingers at 35% on rematch buzz from their razor-close clash, though his potential light heavyweight move tempers expectations, highlighting the fluid middleweight title picture shaped by official rankings and fighter callouts in the past week.
