**Ciryl Gane holds the undisputed UFC heavyweight title after elevation from interim status following Tom Aspinall’s September 2026 injury-related vacancy, positioning the Frenchman as the clear market leader at 67%.** Gane earned the interim belt with a second-round TKO of Alex Pereira in June and enters his first defense against undefeated prospect Josh Hokit at UFC 334 on November 14. Hokit’s rapid rise—marked by a unanimous decision over Curtis Blaydes and a TKO of Derrick Lewis—has earned him the 30.3% probability as the next challenger, reflecting trader consensus on his momentum despite limited experience. Other contenders, including Aspinall, Sergei Pavlovich, and Alexander Volkov, sit at 0.1% due to the imminent title bout and Gane’s established edge in the division.
