Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Mixed Martial Arts
UFC released the official poster for UFC 335, which is headlined by a BMF title fight between Charles Oliveira and Diego Lopes. The poster features all four marquee fighters, including Sergei Pavlovich and Alex Pereira in a five-round heavyweight co-main event.
Why it matters
The fight marks Oliveira's first BMF title defense after he won the belt with a grappling-heavy decision over Max Holloway at UFC 326. Holloway is the only fighter to successfully defend the BMF title, making the bout a test for the current champion.
Oliveira is the fourth man to hold the BMF title, and Holloway remains the only fighter to have successfully defended it. Lopes is making his lightweight debut at the event after a knockout win over Steve Garcia at UFC White House.
