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!
UFC 326 Preview
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 (scary details here). But, this 155-pound 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.
Rounding out the main card is Rob Font vs. Raul Rosas Jr., Drew Dober vs. Michael Johnson and Gregory Rodrigues vs. Brunno Ferreira 2! There should be some finishes among those.
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.

UFC 326 PLAY-BY-PLAY UPDATES
Prelims
Cody Durden vs. Nyamjargal Tunemdemberel:
Early Prelims
Sumudaerji vs. Jesus Aguilar: Sumudaerji’s massive size advantage allowed him to cruise for much of this fight. He kept Aguilar on the outside with his reach and was able to crush down on takedown attempts. Aguilar made it interesting in the third, getting inside and landing some hard shots, but it was too little too late.
Official decision: Sumudaerji def. Jesus Aguilar by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
Rafael Tobias vs. Diyar Nurgozhay: Nurgozhay gets the win thanks to his left hook and left front kick to the body, he didn’t earn any style points for this one. In this fight he hit Tobias with an uppercut to the groin, he grabbed the fence twice, was rocked by a counter and almost got finished with a Suluev stretch. He scraped by with the decision, though, thanks to Tobias being incredibly passive (other when he landed that big punch).
Official decision: Diyar Nurgozhay def. Rafael Tobias by unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)

Luke Fernandez vs. Rodolfo Bellato: Fernandez looked like the super prospect he was supposed to be in the first half of round one, carving Bellato up with his jab and cross. Fernandez left himself too open, though, and was dropped by a left hook out of nowhere. Bellato then swarmed and landed rapid ground strikes (including some to the back of the head) for the stoppage.
Official decision: Rodolfo Bellato def. Luke Hernandez by TKO (punches), round 1 (2:42)
