Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweights are headed to “Sin City” this spring.
Two major Middleweight bouts have been booked for UFC 326, which takes place on Sat., March 7, 2026, inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The numbered event is headlined by Max Holloway vs. Charles Oliveira for the symbolic “BMF” title.
The matchups were first reported by Leo Guimarães.
No. 8-ranked Middleweight Reinier de Ridder will return to action against No. 7-ranked contender Caio Borralho in a bout that could turn into a grappling-heavy chess match.
Seems like the “Dutch Knight” won’t be taking a lot of “time off.”
Borralho (17-2) also suffered the first UFC loss of his career in his most recent outing, dropping a unanimous decision to current No. 1 contender Nassourdine Imavov. Before that defeat, “The Natural” rattled off seven straight wins, defeating the likes of Jared Cannonier, Paul Craig, and Abus Magomedov.
In another high-profile Middleweight clash, former title challenger Paulo Costa will square off against fellow Brazilian Brunno Ferreira.
Costa (15-4) returned to the win column in his last appearance, earning a hard-fought victory over Roman Kopylov at UFC 318. The win snapped a two-fight skid that included losses to Sean Strickland and Whittaker.
Ferreira (15-2) asked for a ranked opponent — and got one. He enters the matchup riding a three-fight win streak after a dominant victory over Marvin Vettori at UFC 323. “The Hulk” is currently 6-2 inside the Octagon.
Here is what UFC 326 looks like so far:
Max Holloway vs. Charles Oliveira
Paulo Costa vs. Brunno Ferreira
Reinier de Ridder vs. Caio Borralho
Brian Ortega vs. Renato Moicano
