Charles Oliveira Dominates Holloway at UFC 326
Oliveira Wins the BMF Title
UFC 326 took place on March 7, 2026, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Charles Oliveira defeated Max Holloway by unanimous decision in their lightweight rematch, winning the BMF championship. The official UFC recap reports that Oliveira controlled the fight with his grappling and earned the judges’ decision.
A Different Outcome in the Rematch
Holloway and Oliveira first met in 2015, when their featherweight bout ended early after Oliveira suffered an injury. More than a decade later, they met again with the BMF belt at stake. This time, Oliveira secured a clear win on the scorecards and added the title to his résumé.
The first meeting ended at 1:39 of Round 1 after Oliveira suffered an injury. Their UFC 326 rematch went five rounds and decided the BMF title, giving the matchup a very different second chapter.

The judges returned identical 50-45 scorecards for Oliveira. He repeatedly took Holloway down and worked from top position, while Holloway defended submission attempts but could not win a round on any card. Holloway had entered as BMF champion, so the decision also moved the belt to Oliveira. Oliveira became the fourth BMF titleholder in UFC history and the first fighter to hold both the BMF and undisputed lightweight titles.
