Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is live TONIGHT (Sat., March. 7, 2026) with UFC 326 exclusively live on Paramount+. The event goes down inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main event is Max Holloway vs. Charles Oliveira 2 for the promotion’s special BMF belt!
Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira meet at UFC 326 for the first time since an ill-fated main event they fought back in 2015, in Saskatchewan of all places. The fight ended before it got started, with a freak injury. But this bout is projected to be a lot more fun, with both having blossomed into certified killers in the time between their first booking.
Holloway comes into the fight off a win over Dustin Poirier, where he first defended the BMF belt. Oliveira heads to the T-Mobile after dominating Mateusz Gamrot in Rio de Janeiro. Both men are firmly in the Legacy Fight era of their careers and no matter what happens tonight, neither should expect to be competing for a title not called BMF anytime soon. Still, there is history on the line here and the potential to create an epic moment that will be replayed ad infinitum or for however long this rock has left.
Our co-main event doesn’t have history on the line, or much going for it in the now, either. It’s Caio Borralho vs. Reinier de Ridder in the Middleweight division, an interesting match-up at least featuring two guys coming off big losses.
The featured “Prelim” is Cody Garbrandt vs. Xiao Long. The undercard also has Donte Johnson vs. Cody Brundage and Cody Durden vs. Nyamjargal Tumendemberel. I think all the Codys will have tough nights tonight.
