Max Holloway ($8,800)

In the last two years, Holloway has fought twice at 155 pounds and put on a spectacular performance each time. Even after suffering a knockout to Ilia Topuria, Holloway proved that he is still as dangerous as ever at Lightweight. Holloway continues his tough schedule with another UFC legend in “Do Bronx”, who is a former Lightweight Champion.

Oliveira is a future UFC Hall of Famer and an all-time great, but this matchup is quite one-sided. In his career, Oliveira has proved to be an above-average striker, but Holloway is not just good on his feet; he is one of the greatest in UFC history. Holloway averages 7.20 significant strikes per minute compared to Oliveira’s 3.35. Also, Holloway is above average defensively on the feet, with a 59 percent defensive rate. Oliveira’s biggest advantage in this fight is on the ground, where he lands nearly two more takedowns per 15 minutes. But that shouldn’t be much of a factor in this contest, as Holloway rarely gets taken down with his 83 percent takedown defense. 

In his last fight, Holloway recorded 122.6 fantasy points and has scored at least 96 points in three of his last four bouts. In their first fight, Holloway totaled 95.8 points en route to a knockout victory against Oliveira. If Holloway successfully defends Oliveira’s takedown attempts, it would be surprising if he didn’t control the contest from start to finish.

Gregory Rodrigues ($8,600)

Gregory Rodrigues is opening up the UFC 326 Main Card against Brunno Ferreira in a three-round Middleweight bout. “Robocop” has won two consecutive fights since his last loss to Jared Cannonier in February 2025. Ferreira is on a three-fight winning streak, with his latest coming against Marvin Vettori.

Although Rodrigues is coming off a performance with only 66.9, he was on a good fantasy stretch before that, totaling 89-plus points in four of five contests. Also, “Robocop” has four 100-point performances in his UFC career. In this bout, Rodrigues has the physical advantages as he is the taller fighter (6’3″ vs. 5’10”) with the larger standing reach (75″ vs. 72″).

Rodrigues averages 1.75 more significant strikes per minute while being slightly more accurate (51% vs. 50%). On the ground, Rodrigues is better as well, landing 1.93 takedowns per 15 minutes while possessing a 75 percent takedown defensive rate. If Rodrigues is aggressive from the start of this contest, a positive performance should follow as well.

Reinier de Ridder ($7,000)

An exciting top-10 Middleweight matchup between Caio Borralho vs. Reinier de Ridder is taking place in the co-main event of this card. Both fighters are coming off losses: Borralho came up short against Nassourdine Imavov in September, while RDR lost to Brendan Allen in October. Before their recent defeats, Borralo won 14 consecutive bouts while de Ridder was on a five-fight winning streak. Now, both fighters have an excellent opportunity to get back in the win column at UFC 326.

Even though RDR is coming off a loss, it is still surprising to see him at $7,000, the third-lowest-priced fighter on this card. RDR is an elite finisher with 18 of his 21 victories coming by submission or knockout. He has proven to be a versatile fighter, and although his statistics don’t stand out, he has used his unique style to frustrate opponents and catch them off guard.

On paper, de Ridder is taller (6’4″ vs. 6’1″) with a reach advantage (78″ vs. 75″). In the UFC, RDR has only allowed a little over two significant strikes from opponents. Although his sample size is small in the UFC, he is averaging 96.1 fantasy points, which is tied with Donte Johnson for the highest average on this card. RDR only recorded 41.8 points against Allen, but totaled at least 106 fantasy points in his previous four fights before that. To beat Borralho, RDR needs to be defensively sound, not complacent, and use all areas of his game. If he does so, he has a good chance to be a contest-winning fighter for UFC 326.
