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.[1][2][3][4][5]
Background
Former UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway is scheduled to defend his symbolic "BMF" (baddest motherfucker) title against former UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira in a lightweight bout serving as the event's headliner.[1] 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.[6][7] The injury was later reported as a minor neck injury.[8]
