This Saturday, the highly anticipated UFC 326 event is set to take place in Las Vegas, offering a multitude of exciting matchups and betting opportunities. The main event features a thrilling showdown between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira, two legendary fighters vying for the BMF title.
Holloway, a former featherweight champion, is looking to defend his title against Oliveira, the UFC’s all-time leader in finishes, submissions, and post-fight bonuses. Both fighters have impressive resumes, with Holloway having defeated Justin Gaethje with a memorable last-second knockout at UFC 300, and Oliveira boasting an impressive record of 21 finishes and 17 submissions.
Beyond the main event, the card features several intriguing matchups, including a co-main event between top-10 ranked middleweights Caio Borralho and Reinier de Rider. Rising bantamweight contender Raul Rosas Jr. will also face off against veteran Rob Font, while lightweight sluggers Michael Johnson and Drew Dober are set to clash on the main card.
With numerous high-stakes fights on the card, sportsbooks are expected to see significant interest. To help navigate the betting landscape, we’ve analyzed each of the five main card fights to identify the best bets. Following a successful 2025, where we went 31-25, we’re currently 5-5 in 2026 and are looking to build on that momentum.
Gregory Rodrigues vs. Brunno Ferreira
The main card kicks off with a rematch between Gregory Rodrigues and Brunno Ferreira. Rodrigues is favored at -185, and for good reason. Despite losing to Ferreira in their initial matchup, Rodrigues has gone 5-1 since, while Ferreira has posted a 5-2 record. Rodrigues enjoys a significant height advantage and lands more strikes per minute, making him the more well-rounded fighter.
Drew Dober vs. Michael Johnson
The fight between Drew Dober and Michael Johnson is expected to be an explosive one, with both men having been knocked out in the past. The odds suggest that a knockout is the most likely method of victory, and at -200, it’s a solid bet. While neither fighter has an extremely high knockout rate, they’ve both been vulnerable to strikes in recent fights.
Rob Font vs. Raul Rosas Jr.
Raul Rosas Jr. is facing off against veteran Rob Font, who is currently a +195 underdog. Despite being 38 years old, Font is a competent fighter who has only been defeated by some of the best 135-pounders in the generation. Rosas, on the other hand, has left some underwhelmed in his recent wins, and Font could be a live underdog in this matchup. However, the key to Font’s success lies in his ability to keep the fight standing, as Rosas averages four takedowns per 15 minutes.
Caio Borralho vs. Reinier de Ridder
The co-main event features Caio Borralho taking on Reinier de Ridder. Borralho is favored to win by KO/TKO/DQ or decision at -225. Both men are coming off losses, but Borralho’s game is less concerning, as he’s better on the feet and has a solid Brazilian jiu-jitsu background. De Ridder’s stand-up is not impressive, and he faded badly in his loss to Brendan Allen.
Max Holloway vs. Charles Oliveira
Finally, the main event pits Max Holloway against Charles Oliveira. Holloway is favored at -220, and stylistically, this is a good matchup for him. Oliveira’s combination of striking and submission skills makes him a tough opponent, but Holloway’s boxing is exceptional, and he successfully defends 83% of takedowns. While Oliveira can’t be counted out, Holloway’s skills make him the more likely winner in this fight.
