Two men that have been to the very top of the UFC in their respective divisions and two of the most popular fighters in the history of the sport.
One man has proven himself the BMF on the planet to claim UFC silver on a couple of occasions and one has the most finishes, submissions and performance bonuses ever.
Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira headline a truly incredible UFC 326 in the fight capital of the world on Sunday and our full preview can be found below.
There are few fight fans that aren’t Max Holloway fans.
And they were surely converted when he pointed to the ground in the dying seconds of his BMF title fight against Justin Gaethje and knocked his opponent out with seconds on the clock.
Don’t forget he was winning the fight and there was no need.
But Max Holloway is a man who takes his legacy in the sport very seriously and that is why he continues to fight at Lightweight against the very best.
He beat Gaethje and Poirier and now he meets the other dominant lightweight of the last decade.
Charles Oliveira is nearing the end of his career but he gets his chance to stamp his legacy on the sport yet again.
His submission record speaks for itself but in the last few years he has proven that he has the ability to end the fight with his hands and he meets an opponent who was seemingly impossible to knock out.
The gap in the head to head market has opened up the closer we have gotten to the fight which leaves a betting opportunity in my opinion.
If Oliveira is to win the fight he has to knock Holloway out and that’s the way I’m playing the main event.
17 wins from 20 pro career fights including his first seven in the UFC has Caio Borralho at the top end of the Middleweight rankings.
His momentum was somewhat halted by Naaourine Imavov September 2025 when he lost a five round decision but he can get his title aspirations back on track with a win in the co-main event.
Former One Championship two weight division champion Reinier de Ridder was thrown straight into the deep end when he entered the UFC ad he handled it well.
He won his first four fights including very dangerous opponents that included Kevin Holland, Rob Whittaker and Bo Nickal.
Those fights proved he could strike with the best in the division and at the current price he represents great value in this head to head match up.
Another excellent fight on the main card by the UFC matchmakers in the bantamweight division.
Rov Font is a veteran of the division who has served as a gatekeeper for many up and coming fighters in the past despite never fighting for a title himself.
Raul Rosas jnr became the youngest ever UFC fighter when he won a contract through Dana White’s Contender Series in 2022 and has looked impressive ever since.
He stumbled with a loss early on but he has proven himself one of the most exciting young fighters in the sport and brings in a four fight win streak in his biggest challenge to date.
There is no doubt that grappling is where he excels but his striking gets better every time he enters the octagon.
I think he can get a finish.
