The highly anticipated rematch between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira at UFC 326 is generating significant buzz among MMA fans. This event will take place on March 7, 2026, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The fighters, both former champions, will battle for the prestigious “BMF” title.
BMF Title Bout at UFC 326
UFC 326 features the fifth BMF title fight in the organization’s history. Max Holloway, a former featherweight champion, seeks to defend his title against former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira. Holloway won the BMF title at UFC 300 in 2024 after a dramatic knockout victory over Justin Gaethje. He successfully defended his title at UFC 318 in 2025, defeating Dustin Poirier by decision.
Significance of the Matchup
The matchup holds substantial importance for both fighters. The victor will remain a contender in the lightweight division. Max Holloway was previously finished by the current lightweight champion, Ilia Topuria, during a title fight in October 2024.
