UFC 326 is almost here! Saturday night, the No. 1 MMA promotion in the world kicks off its schedule of events for the month of March in grand style inside T-Mobile Arena in Enterprise, NV.

Live coverage of the show begins at 5 pm ET/ 2 pm PT on Paramount Plus and UFC Fight Pass with the early prelims before moving onto the late prelims at 7 pm ET/ 4 pm PT. The CBS Television Network will join the late prelims in-progress at 8 pm ET/ 5 pm PT for a two-hour block including the first hour of the main card at 9 pm ET/ 6 pm PT.

The entirety of the UFC 326 main card can be seen via Paramount Plus. All told, 12 of the advertised 13 fights are now confirmed to be taking place after Friday’s weigh-ins.

Before the show begins, our staff made picks for tomorrow’s main card. See if their selections match yours at home.  We’ve also provided some betting tips for UFC 326.

Prelim Dropped From UFC 326 at Weigh-Ins Friday Morning

One fight is now scrubbed from the event as of today’s official weigh-in. A planned undercard fight at featherweight which was to have matched Gaston Bolanos with Jeong Yeong Lee was postponed earlier Friday.

Jeong Yeong Lee experienced difficulties with his weight cut. Prior to the fight being officially postponed, Gaston Bolanos weighed-in at 145 1/2 lbs.

Luckily, this was the only issue at the scales for the UFC 326 weigh-ins. Every other fighter came in without issue.

Symbolic BMF Championship Locked In at Weigh-Ins

This includes the fighters in the UFC 326 main event. The symbolic BMF Championship is up for grabs in a lightweight fight between incumbent BMF Champion and No. 4 contender Max Holloway (156 lbs) and No. 3 contender Charles Oliveira (155 1/2 lbs.)

Given that this main event isn’t for an official championship, the 155-lb championship maximum at lightweight was not enforced here. This fight is an advertised maximum of five rounds at five minutes per round to close the show.

UFC 326 Co-Main Event Given Green Light at Scales Friday

Tomorrow night’s co-main attraction is also confirmed to be going ahead. It’ll be a middleweight affair between No. 7 contender Caio Borralho (186 lbs) and No. 8 contender Reinier de Ridder (185 1/2 lbs.)

This is a three-round fight at five minutes per round.
