The upcoming UFC 331 flyweight title rematch on September 19 between champion Joshua Van and former titleholder Alexandre Pantoja stands as the decisive factor shaping end-of-2026 probabilities. Van captured the belt in December 2025 when Pantoja suffered a freak arm injury just 26 seconds into their first meeting, then delivered a strong fifth-round TKO defense against Tatsuro Taira in May. Pantoja, a veteran with four prior successful defenses, returns fully recovered and seeking to reclaim the division. Their near-even implied probabilities reflect the high-stakes nature of this clash, with limited time remaining for additional title bouts before year-end and other contenders like Manel Kape positioned far behind in the rankings.
