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 holds the undisputed UFC heavyweight title following Jon Jones' retirement and sits atop the market after his October 2025 defense against Ciryl Gane ended in a no-contest from repeated eye pokes. The Briton has undergone multiple eye surgeries and only recently returned to full training, with unification talks ongoing against interim champion Gane, who captured that strap via second-round TKO of Alex Pereira in June 2026. Recent social media rumors of Aspinall exiting the promotion were quickly dismissed by the champion, who confirmed active discussions with the UFC. Other contenders such as Alexander Volkov, Curtis Blaydes, and Serghei Spivac remain on the periphery without imminent title opportunities, leaving the division's near-term direction centered on the Aspinall-Gane rematch timeline and recovery status.
