Oliveira is looking to win a UFC title for the first time since UFC 280, when he lost his UFC lightweight belt to Islam Makhachev by submission. UFC 326 will be the first fight in Oliveira’s promotional tenure that he’s fought for a non-lightweight championship.

Oliveira will fight Holloway for the first time in their lightweight careers, after Holloway earned a controversial win over the Brazilian during their featherweight tenures. Just minutes into their fight at UFC Saskatchewan, Oliveira suffered a neck injury that immediately stopped the bout.

Regardless of whether or not Oliveira is victorious this weekend, expect his father to play a key role in his corner as he looks to dethrone Holloway.
