Alexander Volkanovski holds the UFC featherweight title with a recent unanimous decision victory over Diego Lopes at UFC 325 in January 2026, marking his second defense in the rematch and underscoring his experience and durability at age 37. Traders price him as the clear leader at 57.5% largely due to this track record plus his public expectation of facing undefeated contender Movsar Evloev late in 2026. Evloev sits at 27% after a majority decision win over Lerone Murphy and consistent victories over top competition, positioning him as the primary threat if he claims the belt in the anticipated matchup. Lower-probability names like Jean Silva and Steve Garcia reflect rising momentum but lack immediate title paths, while the crowded division leaves room for form shifts or injuries to alter the end-of-year outcome.
