Max Holloway defends his BMF title against former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira in a lightweight rematch headlining UFC 326 on March 7, 2026, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The co-main features ranked middleweights Caio Borralho and Reinier de Ridder. The card streams live on Paramount+ with early prelims at 5:30 p.m. ET.
UFC 326 marks the promotion's return to T-Mobile Arena, headlined by a lightweight rematch between former featherweight champion Max Holloway (27-8 MMA, 23-8 UFC; ranked No. 4) and Charles Oliveira (36-11 MMA, 23-11 UFC; ranked No. 3 and former champ). Their 2015 clash ended in a first-round TKO for Holloway due to Oliveira's neck injury. Holloway, 34, won the symbolic BMF belt via last-second KO of Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 and defended it against Dustin Poirier at UFC 318, aiming to solidify lightweight contention and potentially earn a title shot behind champion Ilia Topuria. Oliveira, 36, holds UFC records for submissions (22) and finishes (21), with notable wins over Michael Chandler, Dustin Poirier, and Gaethje during his 2021-22 reign; he recently submitted Mateusz Gamrot in October 2025 and seeks revenge.
The co-main pits seventh-ranked middleweight Caio Borralho (17-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) against eighth-ranked Reinier de Ridder (21-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC), both rebounding from first UFC losses—Borralho via unanimous decision to Nassourdine Imavov in September 2025 (ending a 16-fight win streak) and de Ridder stopped by Brendan Allen in October 2025 amid fatigue and anemia. De Ridder noted, "I feel basically five years younger. I feel ready to go." A win could vault the victor toward title contention in a stacked division with Khamzat Chimaev, Imavov, Sean Strickland, Dricus du Plessis, and Israel Adesanya.
Other main card bouts include bantamweight prospect Raul Rosas Jr. (11-1 MMA), the youngest UFC signee at 17 and on a four-fight win streak since a 2023 loss to Christian Rodriguez, vs. No. 13 Rob Font (22-9), a gatekeeper with wins over Adrian Yanez and Kyler Phillips who has faced Jose Aldo and Cory Sandhagen. Rosas seeks his first top-15 win, saying, "Getting a top 15 opponent is what I've been looking for." Lightweight veterans Drew Dober (28-15, eight KOs in last nine fights) meet Michael Johnson (25-19, three-fight win streak at 39), with Dober adding, "We're gonna still kick it as long as we can." Also, middleweight rematch Gregory Rodrigues vs. Brunno Ferreira, who upset Rodrigues in 2023.
Prelims feature former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt vs. Long Xiao, undefeated Donte Johnson vs. Cody Brundage, and debuts for Luke Fernandez and Rafael Tobias. Early prelims include flyweights Su Mudaerji vs. Cody Durden. Odds: Holloway (-215 to -220) vs. Oliveira (+165 to +170); Borralho (-250) vs. de Ridder (+205). Broadcast on Paramount+ from 5:30 p.m. ET early prelims, with CBS simulcasting select main card fights from 8-10 p.m. ET.
