UFC 326 is reportedly going to feature two major middleweight battles.
Max Holloway is already known to be facing Charles Oliveira on 7 March in Las Vegas in order to defend his BMF title.
This event is aiming to include other notable bouts as the schedule fills up quickly for the first three quarters of 2026.
Khamzat Chimaev doesn’t plan on staying in the middleweight division for much longer after winning the title back in August.
That doesn’t mean that several contenders who’d all like a shot at the undefeated champion aren’t going to push for this opportunity if they’re able to produce a big win in the coming months.
UFC cuts six fighters, including a veteran who defeated a former champion and November debutant
How many fights would Khamzat Chimaev need to have before he moves up a weight category and who should he be facing?
Please let us know in the comments what you would like to see from middleweight champion.

Khamzat Chimaev, who has named Nassourdine Imavov his next opponent already, it’s unlikely anyone else will be able to take the spot from her.
Sean Strickland, Anthony Hernandez and others who have been booked to headline Fight Night on February 21 in Houston, Texas, will likely try to contest that.
Other names will be seen in and around…
