Justin Gaethje holds the undisputed UFC lightweight title after his fourth-round TKO of Ilia Topuria in June 2026 at UFC Freedom 250, and the 37-year-old has confirmed he will not compete again in 2026 while openly weighing retirement. This leaves no title bout scheduled before the market resolves, anchoring trader consensus around his continued reign despite his advanced age and limited recent activity. Arman Tsarukyan leads the division in wins but lacks an immediate path to a fight, while other ranked contenders like Charles Oliveira and Paddy Pimblett focus on non-title bouts. A late-year return or retirement announcement could shift probabilities, yet the current absence of any booked defense sustains the heavy favoritism.
Mauresolba ang market na ito batay sa opisyal na kampeon ng UFC sa Lightweight division sa Disyembre 31, 2026 nang 12:00 PM ET. Mga opisyal na kampeon lamang ng mga dibisyon ng UFC ang bibilangin. Hindi bibilangin ang mga interim champion. Kung bakante ang nauugnay na titulo sa oras ng pagsusuri sa market na ito, o kung sa ibang dahilan ay walang kampeon sa tinukoy na dibisyon, aayusin ang market na ito bilang “Iba pa”. Ang pangunahing sanggunian sa pag-aayos ng market na ito ay ang opisyal na impormasyon mula sa UFC (https://www.ufc.com/athletes).
