UFC 326 will be headlined by a lightweight BMF title fight between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira. Holloway (27-8) won the BMF title in a last-second knockout of Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 in April 2024 and then became the first BMF champion to successfully defend the belt by defeating Dustin Poirier in July.
The 155-pound matchup could have significant title implications, as Oliveira and Holloway are the ranked Nos. 2 and 3 in the division, respectively. It’s also a rematch of a strange bout in 2015, when Holloway and Oliveira were competing in the featherweight division. Holloway defeated Oliveira via TKO in the first round when Oliveira said he suffered a freak neck injury.
