The 2026 UFC event schedule is set to deliver some of the most anticipated fights in mixed martial arts history. Headlining the March 7 event in Las Vegas is a much-awaited rematch between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira, two of the most respected lightweight fighters in the sport. This fight not only aims to decide who deserves the "Baddest Motherf*cker" (BMF) title but also positions both fighters for continued dominance in MMA's competitive lightweight division. The event will feature a stacked lineup, including a middleweight clash between Caio Borralho and Reinier de Ridder.
Later in April, UFC 327 in Miami will showcase another major showdown as Jiri Prochazka and Carlos Ulberg battle for the vacant light heavyweight title. This fight represents a significant moment for both fighters: Prochazka, a former champion, aims to reclaim his throne, while Ulberg looks to establish himself as a top contender. The card also includes Joshua Van's flyweight title defense against Tatsuro Taira and an eagerly awaited grudge match between Bellator alumni Patricio Pitbull and Aaron Pico.
