Nassourdine Imavov leads trader consensus at 69.5% implied probability for Sean Strickland’s next middleweight title defense, driven by his five-fight winning streak since their 2023 encounter and repeated UFC signals positioning him as the priority contender. Imavov’s recent knockouts of Jared Cannonier and Israel Adesanya, combined with Strickland’s public interest in the matchup, have solidified this edge over Khamzat Chimaev’s 27.5% rematch push following the May 2026 split-decision loss at UFC 328. Chimaev’s demands for an immediate second fight and recent wrestling commitments elsewhere have tempered expectations. Dricus du Plessis trails at 2.1% despite prior wins over Strickland, as his recent form and upcoming schedule keep him secondary in the division’s title picture.
