Summary

Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira are set to author another chapter in BMF title history. On Saturday, Holloway and Oliveira square off for the BMF title in the main event of UFC 326, in Las Vegas. The bout is a rematch of a 2015 featherweight fight that failed to deliver on expectations. Since then, both have gone on to put together Hall of Fame careers, winning titles and setting records, and now they return to the matchup to give the fans the fight we never got the first time, but are they fighting for even more than that? MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew and Alexander K. Lee preview UFC 326 and discuss what’s on the line for Holloway and Oliveira on Saturday night aside from the BMF belt. Additionally, Meshew and Lee discuss where the two main event fighters rank all-time, how Caio Borralho and Reinier de Ridder stack up in the co-main event, whether Raul Rosas Jr. can break into the Top 15 against Rob Font, the cornucopia of Codys on the prelims, UFC White House rumors, answer fan questions, and more.
