Following the events of UFC 331 in Los Angeles, oddsmakers have released betting lines for two potential future championship bouts. Arman Tsarukyan has opened as a significant betting favorite at -450 against lightweight champion Justin Gaethje, who is a +350 underdog. Tsarukyan reestablished himself as the top contender in the division by securing a first-round knockout victory over Mauricio Ruffy.

In the flyweight division, Manel Kape has opened as a -160 favorite to defeat newly crowned champion Joshua Van, who sits as a +140 underdog.
