Recent developments in the UFC middleweight division have kept the market for Sean Strickland's next opponent tightly contested among top contenders. Nassourdine Imavov leads slightly after publicly claiming the UFC promised him the title shot following his strong win streak and a prior loss to Strickland, fueling personal rivalry talk. Khamzat Chimaev remains close due to his high-profile split-decision defeat to the champion at UFC 328 in May and repeated calls for an immediate rematch, despite injury recovery timelines. Dricus Du Plessis stays in the mix through his established history in title bouts and recent comments dismissing certain rematch paths. This clustering reflects active contender positioning, roster health factors, and the division's competitive depth heading into late 2026 scheduling.
