Game Info: March 7, 2026 @ T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas

This match serves as a rematch which has taken eleven years to reach its current state. The first match between them which took place in 2015 ended with Oliveira suffering a strange neck injury which left fans wondering about the outcome of the battle that they would later see.

The Key Matchup

Holloway (+276) : Max is currently in a “second prime.” His boxing remains the gold standard in the UFC, and his chin has shown complete resistance to all powerful opponents who tried to knock him out. If he maintains his standing fight style and uses his punching output to defeat “Do Bronx,” he will achieve victory through a decision or a late TKO.

Oliveira (-147) : Charles holds the record for most finishes in UFC history. He requires only one error from his opponent to execute a neck or arm submission. The underdog at +185 becomes highly appealing when he establishes a grappling match during the initial moments of the fight.
