The win snapped a two-fight skid that included losses to Sean Strickland<\/a> and Whittaker.<\/p>\n Ferreira (15-2) asked for a ranked opponent \u2014 and got one. He enters the matchup riding a three-fight win streak after a dominant victory over Marvin Vettori at UFC 323<\/a>. \u201cThe Hulk\u201d is currently 6-2 inside the Octagon.<\/p>\n Here is what UFC 326 looks like so far:<\/p>\n Max Holloway vs. Charles Oliveira<\/p>\n Paulo Costa vs. Brunno Ferreira<\/p>\n Reinier de Ridder vs. Caio Borralho<\/p>\n Brian Ortega vs. Renato Moicano<\/p>\n
