This market will resolve according to the official UFC Heavyweight division champion on December 31, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET. Only official UFC division champions will count. Interim champions will not count. If the relevant belt is vacant at this market’s check time, or there is otherwise no champion in the specified division, this market will resolve to “Other”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the UFC (https://www.ufc.com/athletes).Tom Aspinall’s extended recovery from multiple eye surgeries following the 2025 no-contest with Ciryl Gane has introduced significant uncertainty into the heavyweight title picture heading into late 2026. This absence has elevated prospects Tyrell Fortune and Josh Hokit, both riding strong records and recent momentum, into near-even contention with the champion in trader pricing. An imminent interim title bout and rapid roster movement further fragment the division, where stylistic matchups, injury timelines, and quick ascents by unblemished contenders keep the field tightly bunched. Historical patterns show heavyweight outcomes often shift dramatically with any single high-profile result or health setback.
