Carlos Ulberg leads trader consensus at 45.5% implied probability to hold the UFC Light Heavyweight title through year's end after capturing the belt with a stunning first-round KO over Jiří Procházka at UFC 327 on April 11, capping a dominant five-fight win streak including victories over Dominick Reyes, Jan Błachowicz, and Volkan Oezdemir. Bogdan Guskov (29.5%) gains traction from his near-perfect run, highlighted by a gritty majority draw with Błachowicz in December 2025 and prior stoppage of Nikita Krylov, positioning him as a stylistic threat for contention. Magomed Ankalaev (23.6%) remains a top-ranked grappler despite losses to ex-champ Alex Pereira in 2025, with his July Abu Dhabi return fueling upset potential amid Ulberg's unproven defenses and the vacated Pereira era. Reyes' resurgence adds volatility at 17.5%.
