UFC 326: Holloway vs. Oliveira 2 was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on March 7, 2026, at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas Valley, United States.
Background
The event was the first featured official broadcast on CBS after the new media rights agreement with Paramount Skydance began in January, as the network partially aired the card during the final hour of the prelims along with the first hour of the main card. The remainder of the main card including the main event aired exclusively on Paramount+. The CBS simulcast marked the promotion's best linear television ratings in a decade. According to the Nielsen Ratings System, the two-hour broadcast window averaged 2.47 million viewers, while the first hour of the main card averaged over 2.8 million. The broadcast peaked at 3.1 million viewers during the middleweight bout between Gregory Rodrigues and Brunno Ferreira.
Background
Former UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway defended his symbolic "BMF" (baddest motherfucker) title against former UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira in a lightweight bout serving as the event's headliner. The two fighters previously met in August 2015 at UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs. Oliveira, where Oliveira was defeated via first-round technical knockout in a featherweight bout after sustaining an apparent neck and shoulder injury during a takedown attempt, which rendered him unable to continue. The injury was later reported as a minor neck injury.
