Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to YES if Islam Makhachev is the undisputed UFC Welterweight Champion as of December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM EST.

The market will resolve to NO if, at that exact time, he does not hold the undisputed title. This includes, but is not limited to, situations where:

• He loses the title in a fight.

• He is stripped of the title by the UFC.

• He vacates the title for any reason, including retirement or moving to another division.

An interim championship does not count as the undisputed championship. If there is an interim champion but Makhachev remains the undisputed champion, the market will still resolve to YES.

The primary sources of truth for resolution will be the official UFC athlete profile for Islam Makhachev and the official UFC rankings page.
