Analysis
This market shows extreme illiquidity with zero 24-hour volume despite $32.6k open interest and a massive 75¢ spread, suggesting the 40¢ price may not reflect true consensus. The 212% implied yield on the Yes side is notably inflated relative to the 94% on the No side, a classic sign of thin liquidity pricing in the Yes direction. With 258 days to expiry and a realized volatility of 1247%, the recent 150% price surge from 16¢ to 40¢ over seven days warrants caution about whether this reflects genuine probability shifts or merely illiquid repricing.
Resolution rules
This market will resolve to “Yes” if the listed fighter becomes champion of any UFC division between January 1, 2026 and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Only official UFC division champions will count. Interim champions will not count. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the UFC (https://www.ufc.com/athletes); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
