Dricus Du Plessis’ dominant unanimous decision win over Kamaru Usman at UFC Oklahoma City in July 2026 has repositioned the former middleweight champion as a top title contender following his 2025 loss to Khamzat Chimaev. With no official next opponent announced, trader sentiment remains split across multiple middleweight options. Nassourdine Imavov holds strong positioning as the long-waiting No. 1 contender with an extended win streak, while Sean Strickland’s two prior losses to Du Plessis create a natural rematch narrative. Recent callouts from surging contenders like Gregory Rodrigues add further variables, and the division’s fluid title picture—potentially involving a Chimaev-Strickland sequel—keeps the field competitive. This uncertainty among established names and rising threats sustains the tightly bunched probabilities.
