UFC 326 started with a bang when Rodolfo Bellato stopped Luke Hernandez via TKO after a spirited first 90 seconds. Hernandez, who was touted as being a great prospect, didn’t manage a great look for very long. Alberto Montes subbed Ricky Turcios with a D’Arce choke to grab the only other finish on the undercard. And Cody Garbrandt, who was definitely on his way to a 29-28 loss, ended up getting fouled multiple times with kicks to the pills (the second one even made poor Cody vomit right in the octagon), resulting in Xiao Long losing two points and the fight.
The main card saw Gregory Rodrigues waste very little time in sending Brunno Ferreira to the land of wind and ghosts, KO’ing the man in under 2 minutes. Drew Dober would follow with a TKO of Michael Johnson in round two. Raul Rosas Jr. dominated Rob Font to take a lopsided unanimous decision, and Caio Borralho followed suit with a lopsided unanimous decision of his own over Reinier de Ridder.
In our final bout, we saw an absolute blowout by Charles Oliveira. He dominated Max Holloway from the jump all the way to the final bell. Chucky Olives looked sensational and now has the BMF belt. Now that we’ve reviewed the highlights, let’s check out the results and bonuses while we’re here.
