At T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, ex-UFC titleholders Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira are set to face off in a second encounter, 11 years following their initial contest. This duo will top the bill for UFC 326.
This Saturday evening, in stark contrast to their initial match, a coveted UFC championship will be at stake, as Holloway endeavors to retain the BMF title. This title represents the UFC’s most tenacious and thrilling competitor. Holloway initially seized this championship at UFC 300 in April 2024, conquering Justin Gaethje with a fifth-round knockout. Subsequently, he became the inaugural individual to successfully retain the belt, achieving a unanimous decision triumph against Dustin Poirier at UFC 318 last July. In his latest cage engagement in October, Oliveira secured a victory over Mateusz Gamrot through a second-round submission.
The supporting headline bout will feature middleweight aspirants Caio Borralho and Reinier de Ridder confronting each other. Furthermore, Raul Rosas Jr., aged 21, will challenge the seasoned combatant Rob Font, who is his senior by 17 years.
The entire proceedings from UFC 326 in Las Vegas will be meticulously analyzed by Brett Okamoto, Andreas Hale, and Jeff Wagenheim.
