UFC champions in 2026? Chimaev a favorite now to become a champ-champ and the GOAT is available at +500!

[oski]

DraftKings has revealed the odds of each division’s champion by the end of 2026. Khamzat is a 2 division favorite. He's -350 at MW and -150 at LHW which is pretty amazing as these odds are against the entire field.

Also, anyone who thinks Jon gets a shot again should look into the +500 line you can get right now which I find absolutely shocking as they have Tommy at -180.

Here's the rest...

UFC champions in 2026? Bookies bet on Khamzat Chimaev to become a champ-champ

Did you know that Mackenzie Dern was a +15000 betting underdog to end 2025 as Strawweight champion? With 2025 officially in the rearview mirror and 2026 already underway, DraftKings has revealed the odds of each division’s champion by the end of 2026 … and some of the odds are interesting...

I agree on Khamzat if he stays healthy, but someone help make sense of the HW odds.

Pretty please, sherpimps.

Given that Khamzat is not fighting for LHW title next, those odds are ridiculous. His next fight is what, April in the earliest?

Khamzat fights once a year so those odds are BS

Came here to say this

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

He doesn't even have a fight lined up two weeks into 2026...

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

He doesn't fight, so this is irrelevant.

Is betting haram? I know that charging interest is but crypto scams aren’t, so I’m not sure.

Khamzat vs Pereira would actually be a huge fight. Khamzat going from 170 to 205 is pretty wild. I'm genuinely curious if his strength carries over to LHW or if he'd just get squashed like Adesanya did.
