Manel Kape leads the market at 61.5% implied probability as the consensus next opponent for flyweight champion Joshua Van following his UFC 331 title defense win over Alexandre Pantoja. Kape's recent finishing power, including four straight stoppages, combined with longstanding rivalry talk and calls from analysts for the striker matchup, positions him ahead of the field. Brandon Royval sits at 12% after prior losses to Van, while Asu Almabayev trails at 9.5% amid limited recent momentum in title contention. Multiple other options at or near 50% reflect ongoing uncertainty in the division's matchmaking, with Van's strong form and the flyweight landscape favoring a high-profile bout against Kape over lower-ranked or less active contenders.
