LAS VEGAS – The BMF title will be on the line at UFC 326 when Max Holloway looks to make a second defense of the belt in a rematch with Charles Oliveira.
Holloway (27-8 MMA, 23-8 UFC) and Oliveira (36-11 MMA, 24-11 UFC) wanted to run it back, and they will get their wish at the March 7 event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (Paramount+).

The first meeting ended in anticlimactic fashion at UFC Fight Night 74 in August 2015 when Oliveira went down early with an injury, giving Holloway the TKO win. The circumstances of the injury have remained somewhat mysterious, but since then both men have evolved into legends of the sport, and will fight in just the sixth BMF title bout in company history.
Both Holloway and Oliveira were in attendance for Friday’s “IT’S ON” 2026 seasonal press conference, and after speaking on their rematch, engaged in a staredown.
