Tom Aspinall holds the undisputed UFC heavyweight title after Jon Jones retired in 2025, while Ciryl Gane captured the interim belt with a second-round TKO over Alex Pereira in June 2026. The pair’s October 2025 title fight ended in a no-contest following repeated eye pokes that sidelined Aspinall for surgery, setting up an anticipated unification bout—potentially in Paris later this year—once the Briton clears medical checks and returns to full training. Aspinall’s elite finishing rate and pre-injury momentum underpin his 54.5% implied probability as the consensus favorite, though Gane’s two interim reigns and stylistic advantages at 36 keep him at 32.5%. Lower-ranked contenders such as Alexander Volkov trail far behind due to limited recent title contention and the division’s emphasis on the Aspinall-Gane outcome through year-end.
