**Joshua Van and Alexandre Pantoja dominate the flyweight title picture heading into the final months of 2026.** Van captured the belt from Pantoja in December 2025 via first-round TKO (injury) at UFC 323, then defended successfully against Tatsuro Taira with a fifth-round stoppage at UFC 328 in May. The immediate rematch at UFC 331 on September 19 pits the 24-year-old champion’s seven-fight win streak and finishing power against the 36-year-old former champion’s experience, submission threat, and historical dominance in the division. With no other title bouts scheduled before year-end, the closely matched implied probabilities reflect the high-stakes outcome of this single fight and the limited time remaining for other contenders like Manel Kape to mount a challenge.
