Market context

Nursulton Ruziboev, a 36-9-2 submission specialist, faces Andrey Pulyaev, a 10-4-0 underdog, in tonight’s UFC Baku prelims at 3:30 pm. On Polymarket, this contract trades at 0% YES for Ruziboev, reflecting a stark divergence from traditional betting odds where he sits as the -225 favourite[2]. The on-chain mechanics lock USDC on Polygon via conditional tokens, meaning the market’s zero price implies either a catastrophic data lag or a pre-emptive belief in Pulyaev’s upset, despite Ruziboev’s two-fight win streak and superior UFC record since 2023[2][4].

Historically, similar 0% Polymarket entries in UFC prelims often precede late-night technical glitches or unannounced No Contest rulings, rather than genuine underdog victories. Comparable cases from 2024 show that when a favourite like Ruziboev (36 wins) is priced at zero, the market usually corrects to 50-50 within hours if the fight is ruled a draw or technical draw, as per the contract’s resolution clause[3]. This pattern suggests the current probability may be a temporary anomaly rather than a settled forecast, especially given Ruziboev’s 4-1 UFC record and recent KO over Eric Spicely[4].

Traders must monitor the official UFC broadcast feed for the 3:58 submission result already logged by Combat Edge, which could invalidate the market if the fight ends before the settlement window closes[1]. Key catalysts include the UFC’s post-fight announcement of the official winner and any delays in the resolution source, as the market resolves to 50-50 if the fight is ruled a No Contest or postponed beyond 11 July 2026[1]. Recent odds shifts from BetMGM, which still list Ruziboev as the -230 favourite, further underscore the market’s potential mispricing[2][5].

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.

Once finalised, the smart contract pays USDC to the holders' wallets within minutes — no withdrawal fees beyond Polygon network gas. Kalshi settles in USD via CFTC clearance, Betfair in account currency net of commission, Manifold in play-money mana with no cash-out.
