UFC 326 Staff Picks: Max Holloway vs. Charles Oliveira 2 Main Card Predictions

UFC Returns to T-Mobile Arena with Blockbuster Event: Max Holloway vs. Charles Oliveira 2 Main Card Predictions

After a long break due to the global pandemic, UFC is finally back at the T-Mobile Arena with a highly-anticipated numbered event, UFC 326. The main event will feature a rematch between the reigning BMF title holder, Max Holloway and the number one contender, Charles Oliveira. The two fighters will face off in a highly-anticipated bout that is expected to be nothing short of explosive.

The BMF title, also known as the “Baddest Motherf****r” title, was introduced in 2019 and has quickly become one of the most prestigious titles in the UFC. The title had never been successfully defended before, until Max Holloway did the unthinkable and retired Dustin Poirier at UFC 318 last year. This victory solidified Holloway’s position as the true BMF of the UFC and he is now looking to extend his reign by defeating Oliveira.

Holloway and Oliveira have a history, with their first encounter taking place back in 2015. The fight ended in a unanimous decision victory for Holloway, but Oliveira has since gone on a seven-fight win streak, making him a formidable opponent for the reigning BMF champion. With both fighters at the top of their game, fans are in for an electrifying showdown.

But the main event is not the only exciting match-up on the card. The co-main event will see rising sensation Caio Magalhaes take on the experienced veteran, Michael Bisping. Magalhaes has been on a hot streak, with four consecutive wins in the UFC, while Bisping is looking to make a comeback after losing his last fight. The clash between youth and experience is sure to be a thrilling one.

In another highly-anticipated bout, fan-favorite Nate Diaz will make his return to the octagon after a two-year hiatus to take on the tough and resilient Tony Ferguson. Diaz, known for his entertaining fighting style and trash-talking, will surely bring a lot of excitement to the event. And Ferguson, with his impressive record of 25 wins and only four losses, will be a tough opponent for Diaz to conquer.

The main card also features two other exciting fights, with former heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos taking on the undefeated Greg Hardy, and top-ranked welterweight contenders Stephen Thompson and Vicente Luque going head to head.

With such a stacked card, UFC 326 is shaping up to be one of the biggest events of the year. And with the return of fans to the arena, the atmosphere is sure to be electric. The T-Mobile Arena has always been a favorite among UFC fans, and it’s no surprise as the venue has hosted some of the most iconic fights in UFC history.
