Dricus Du Plessis’s July 18 unanimous-decision win over Kamaru Usman at UFC Oklahoma City returned the former middleweight champion to the win column and sharpened his case for another title opportunity against current champion Sean Strickland, whom he has already beaten twice. That performance, combined with Strickland’s recent upset of Khamzat Chimaev and Nassourdine Imavov’s long winning streak, has left the 185-pound division’s immediate matchmaking fluid. Traders see Imavov as the narrow frontrunner for Du Plessis’s next outing because of ranking momentum and prior contender positioning, yet Du Plessis has publicly questioned Imavov’s activity while pushing his own Strickland trilogy narrative. Late call-outs from fighters such as Gregory Rodrigues and the absence of any official UFC announcement keep multiple names clustered near 50 percent, reflecting the closely contested nature of the division’s next steps.
