This market will resolve according to the official UFC Bantamweight division champion on December 31, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET. Only official UFC division champions will count. Interim champions will not count. If the relevant belt is vacant at this market’s check time, or there is otherwise no champion in the specified division, this market will resolve to “Other”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the UFC (https://www.ufc.com/athletes).Petr Yan leads trader consensus at 58.5% implied probability as the reigning UFC Bantamweight champion after reclaiming the title via unanimous decision over Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 323, extending his four-fight win streak despite a January lower back surgery sidelining him until summer; a recent training video confirms his recovery progress amid speculation. Sean O'Malley (15.5%) and Dvalishvili (15.0%) trail closely, bolstered by O'Malley's January unanimous decision over Song Yadong and upcoming June clash with streaking Aiemann Zahabi—who recently split-decisioned Marlon Vera—while Dvalishvili recovers from an early April training nose injury eyeing a trilogy. Umar Nurmagomedov (8.0%) gains from #4 ranking and Figueiredo knockout, highlighting the division's competitive title picture through 2026.
