"Unlike the first fight, a UFC belt will be on the line Saturday night, when Holloway looks to defend 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, beating Justin Gaethje by fifth-round KO."
"Holloway then became the first person to successfully defend the belt via a unanimous decision over Dustin Poirier at UFC 318 last July. Oliveira beat Mateusz Gamrot by second-round submission in his most recent Octagon appearance in October."
Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira face off in a rematch at UFC 326 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, marking their first encounter in 11 years. This time, Holloway's BMF title is at stake. Holloway captured the belt at UFC 300 in April 2024 by defeating Justin Gaethje via fifth-round knockout, then successfully defended it against Dustin Poirier through unanimous decision at UFC 318 in July. Oliveira enters the bout following a second-round submission victory over Mateusz Gamrot in October. The card features middleweight contenders Caio Borralho and Reinier de Ridder in the co-main event, while 21-year-old Raul Rosas Jr. competes against veteran Rob Font.
