UFC 326 Holloway vs Oliveira 2 PPV Pay Per View March 7th 2026 Preview.
UFC 326, going down this Sat. night (March 7, 2026) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, will also feature the middleweight showdown pitting Reinier de Ridder against Caio Borralho, an important fight for both combatants as they look to rebound from recent losses and reestablish themselves as major payers in the 185-pound title chase. Elsewhere on the UFC 326 main card , Raul Rosas Jr. tries to cement his place among the bantamweight elite at the expense of veteran bruiser Rob Font.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will return to the Paramount+ network for its latest and greatest numbered event, UFC 326: “Holloway vs. Oliveira 2.” As the name would suggest, UFC 326 is headlined by the rematch between former featherweight champion, Max Holloway, and ex-lightweight titleholder, Charles Oliveira. “Blessed” will be defending his “BMF” belt while “Do Bronxs” will be looking to avenge his UFC Saskatoon loss to the Hawaiian, which took place back in summer 2015.
Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira first went to war atop the UFC Saskatoon fight card back in 2015 — as featherweights — and we didn’t know what we had at the time. While we recognized both parties as legit prospects with bright futures, I don’t think anyone could have predicted their hall-of-fame careers, which include 46 finishes, 34 post-fight performance bonuses, and 11 “Fight of the Night” honors. Oliveira would set sail for lightweight long before Holloway, who abandoned the 145-pound weight class after suffering the first knockout of his career opposite Ilia Topuria. Any questions about the Hawaiian’s post-Topuria durability were answered in a commanding performance opposite Dustin Poirier in their UFC 318 rematch last summer. Similarly, Oliveira was able to bounce back from his Topuria knockout to pretzel Mateusz Gamrot at UFC Rio back in October.
If you look at Holloway’s overall game, it’s difficult to find a weakness to expose. His only losses over the last seven years have come against Topuria and Alex Volkanovski, two elite champions. Outside of that, he’s been in compete control. “Blessed” has the cardio to go 10 rounds, lands more than seven significant strikes per minute, and defends 83-percent of the takedowns that come his way. He also holds the UFC record for significant strikes landed (3655) and total strikes landed (3907). Just for some perspective, second place in both categories trails by well over 1000 strikes. Conversely, Oliveira holds a few records of his own, including most finishes (21) and most submissions (17). Holloway has only been submitted once in his pro career and that came in a loss to Poirier back in 2012. Not that it matters, because I don’t think you can paint this fight as the traditional “striker vs. grappler” showdown because both fighters are far more complete than just a single label.
That said, I wouldn’t count on Oliveira staying competitive in the standup. Holloway doesn’t have traditional knockout power, instead relying on volume and accuracy to systematically break his opponents down over the long haul. Oliveira can disrupt that rhythm with takedowns and cage work, I just have a hard time envisioning a scenario where “Do Bronxs” is able to cut off the cage and keep “Blessed” from using his superior footwork. The real question for me is where or not Holloway is able to secure the finish. I would not be surprised to see Oliveira crumble in the second half of the fight, then turtle until the ref intervenes. Regardless of how it ends, expect this headlining affair to be a contender for “Fight of the Night” when all is said and done.
Reinier de Ridder and Caio Borralho are back, in what is without a doubt a pivotal fight for both combatants. Last summer, De Ridder and Borralho were neck-and-neck in the division title chase and perhaps one victory away from a crack at the crown. Then came a pair of losses, with De Ridder falling to Brendan Allen and Borralho coming up short against Nassourdine Imavov. Safe to say a loss at UFC 326 will eliminate one of these two middleweights from the 185-pound title picture. It will also lend credence to those “fraud check” claims online. “The Dutch Knight” is being called Reinier de Quitter for his performance against Allen while Borralho was reassigned to the “Fighting Frauds” fight team. That’s just the nature of the beast these days, you’re always one loss away from being garbage in the eyes of fickle fans.
De Ridder is not much of a striker and never was, landing a measly 2.20 significant strikes per minute. That said, he makes up for that deficiency with a dangerous ground game, complemented by his tremendous size. De Ridder stands 6’4” and sports a 78” reach, one of the reasons he was able to bully wrestling phenom Bo Nickal in their UFC Des Moines showdown. Borralho is more well rounded and has knockout power, though he’s only been able to score two finishes in eight trips to the Octagon — two of which returned a “Performance of the Night” bonus. This co-main event showdown is not unlike the “BMF” headliner. Borralho will be looking to play Dutch Whac-A-Mole and keep himself off the ground, while De Ridder will be trying his damndest to smother and cover the Brazilian like an order of Denny’s hash browns.
