UFC 326


UFC 326: Holloway vs. Oliveira 2 is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place on March 7, 2026, at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas Valley, United States.

Background

Former UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway is scheduled to defend his symbolic "BMF" title against former UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira in a lightweight bout serving as the event's headliner. The two fighters previously met in August 2015 at UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs. Oliveira, where Oliveira was defeated via first-round technical knockout in a featherweight bout after sustaining an apparent neck and shoulder injury during a takedown attempt, which rendered him unable to continue. The injury was later reported as a minor neck injury.
Former UFC Middleweight Championship challenger Paulo Costa was initially expected to face Brunno Ferreira in a middleweight bout at the event. However, Costa withdrew on December 26 for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by former LFA Middleweight Champion Gregory Rodrigues, setting up a rematch between them. The two previously met at UFC 283 in January 2023, where Rodrigues was defeated by first-round knockout.
A bantamweight bout between Rob Font and Raul Rosas Jr. is expected to take place at the event. The pairing was originally scheduled as the co-main event for UFC Fight Night: Lopes vs. Silva in September 2025, but Rosas Jr. withdrew due to a rib injury.
A lightweight rematch between former lightweight title challenger Renato Moicano and former featherweight title challenger Brian Ortega was scheduled for this event. However, Ortega withdrew due to injury, and it is currently unclear whether a replacement opponent will be found. The two previously met in a featherweight bout at UFC 214 in July 2017, where Ortega won via third‑round guillotine choke.
