Magomed Ankalaev leads trader consensus as Carlos Ulberg’s likely next opponent due to his status as the top-ranked light heavyweight contender and a dominant fifth-round TKO victory over Bogdan Guskov in July 2026. Ulberg, sidelined by a torn ACL sustained in his April 2026 title-winning knockout of Jiri Prochazka, publicly noted Ankalaev as a key contender worth monitoring after watching the performance cageside. The New Zealand champion has targeted an early 2027 return, leaving the division’s booking dependent on interim or title-elimination bouts in the interim. Jan Blachowicz and Paulo Costa appear as longer-shot options given prior history and recent activity, while Guskov’s recent loss diminishes his immediate positioning.
