A dozen years following their initial encounter, previous UFC titleholders Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira are set to compete once more, taking the top billing at UFC 326, held within the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Differing from their initial contest, an Ultimate Fighting Championship title is at stake this Saturday evening, as Holloway aims to retain the BMF championship, a recognition for the organization’s most tenacious and thrilling combatant. Holloway initially secured this strap at UFC 300 in April 2024, overcoming Justin Gaethje through a fifth-round knockout. Subsequently, Holloway achieved the distinction of being the first to successfully defend the championship by unanimous decision against Dustin Poirier in July at UFC 318. Oliveira, in his latest cage appearance during October, defeated Mateusz Gamrot with a second-round submission.
Contenders in the middleweight division, Caio Borralho and Reinier de Ridder, will confront each other in the secondary headline bout, while Raul Rosas Jr., aged 21, will face the seasoned combatant Rob Font, who surpasses him in age by seventeen years.
Brett Okamoto, Andreas Hale, and Jeff Wagenheim are slated to provide analysis on every aspect of the UFC 326 proceedings taking place in Las Vegas.
