UFC 326 headliner Charles Oliveira vs. Max Holloway 2 is one of the most highly anticipated fights of 2026.
Not only is the BMF title back on the line, but this is a rematch 11 years in the making! Since the first fight ended early due to mysterious injury all those years ago, both men have accomplished incredible things inside the Octagon, winning and defending divisional titles. Instead of a clash of rising talents, it’s now a dual of former champions, two men who are proven to push the pace and gun for the finish even at the most elite level.
How will Oliveira react if and when Holloway invites him to engage? Per the Brazilian, he’s ready to throw down at literally any time and will happily take that offer.
“If he calls me at the beginning of the round or in the middle of the round, it doesn’t matter,” Oliveira told RMC Sport Combat (h/t ChampRds). “I’ll be there. Like I just said, that’s why I break people mentally. I don’t run from a fight, I seek it out. I’m hunting the whole time. It makes no difference to me.”
We’ll find out in just a few more weeks if Oliveira’s gamble is a good idea.
