Max Holloway vs Charles Oliveira 2: The BMF Title Fight You Cannot Miss
Former UFC champions Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira clash in a rematch 11 years after their first bout, headlining UFC 326 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Unlike their 2015 meeting, a UFC belt is on the line tonight — with Holloway defending the BMF title that signifies the UFC's grittiest, most exciting fighter. Holloway first took control of the belt at UFC 300 in April 2024, knocking out Justin Gaethje in the fifth round, then became the first person to successfully defend the belt with a unanimous decision over Dustin Poirier at UFC 318 last July.
Holloway and Oliveira infamously fought once before in 2015 at the infancies of their UFC careers, with Holloway winning via a first-round injury before either man had risen to become a champion. Everything is different now. Both men are future Hall of Famers. Both have held UFC gold. And tonight, one of them walks out of Vegas with the most coveted symbolic belt in MMA.
The Road Each Fighter Took to UFC 326
Holloway, now 27-8, is a former UFC featherweight champion widely considered one of the greatest 145-pounders to ever compete. His move up to the lightweight division has already delivered electric returns — Holloway demolished Justin Gaethje with 2024's Knockout of the Year to claim the BMF belt, then defended that title by retiring Dustin Poirier in a scintillating battle last August.
Oliveira, now 36-11, comes into the night following a submission win against top lightweight contender Mateusz Gamrot in the main event of UFC Rio in October 2025. The Brazilian grappling wizard has reinvented himself multiple times throughout his career — from a struggling prospect to a legendary submission artist and former UFC lightweight champion. Oliveira enters as the +170 underdog against Holloway's -220 favorite pricing.
