Dricus Du Plessis's next opponent remains highly uncertain due to instability at the top of the UFC middleweight division. Sean Strickland's contract disputes and shoulder issues have delayed his expected title defense against Nassourdine Imavov, while Du Plessis himself has publicly prioritized reclaiming the belt after his July 2026 unanimous decision win over Kamaru Usman. His coach recently rejected a light heavyweight tournament offer, keeping the former champion at 185 pounds and targeting a February or March 2027 return. This fluid situation, with multiple high-profile options including potential rematches against Strickland or Khamzat Chimaev plus contenders like Brendan Allen, has produced tightly bunched trader consensus across numerous outcomes rather than clear favorites.
