The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)’s numbered cards are back following a near two month long hiatus.
The last time we were here, Alex Volkanovski successfully defended his title against Diego Lopes in front of his hometown crowd. This time around, Max Holloway is looking to defend his BMF title against Charles Oliveira, in a rematch of their UFC Fight Night headliner in 2015 (shoutout to Saskatoon for hosting it).
UFC 326 is scheduled for Saturday, Mar. 7, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Early Prelims will start at 5 p.m. ET or 2 p.m PT for those on the West Coast. Prelims will start two hours later, at 7 p.m ET (4 p.m PT), and the main card will start at 9 p.m ET (6 p.m PT).
This card doesn’t feature much star power, but it does feature a BMF title fight between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira, which is shaping up to be a good fight. Last time we had a BMF title fight, Justin Gaethje got knocked out in the final few seconds (INSANE to look back on now).

Where to Watch
Although Canadians don’t have access to the current Paramount+ deal, some Canadian TV providers still carry the card.
Prelims can be viewed on either Sportsnet+ or TVA Sports, but the main card is locked behind a pay-per-view (PPV). If you want to catch the early prelims, you can view them through UFC Fight Pass.
Currently, the PPV will be available to order on Sportsnet+, UFC PPV on UFC Fight Pass, YouTube, and several Canadian TV providers (Bell, Rogers, SaskTel, etc)
FightPass, UFC’s streaming service, is available on a monthly or annual basis. The monthly pass is C$10.99/mo, while the annual plan is C$61.99/year. Currently, Fight Pass is available on Android, iOS, Amazon Fire devices, Chromecasts (as mentioned previously, it is not listed on the website but is compatible), Roku, Xbox, LG, Samsung Smart TVs, and Sony TVs with Android TV capability.
Despite the change to Paramount, DAZN is also hosting the event. Like most sports streaming services, it requires a subscription to buy the PPV. Annoying. Thankfully, the DAZN plan that includes the UFC is the cheapest available, but it does cost about C$24.99/mo. If you have a subscription already (or have just purchased one), you can buy the subscription through DAZN for C$69.99
If you prefer YouTube, the video streaming giant will also carry a stream of the PPV at the same price (C$69.99).
If you want to get a pint or some grub alongside the PPV (and arguably save some cash), most local bars and restaurants will also be carrying the event, with most sports bars and restaurants allowing walk-ins. If you want to grab a good spot, I highly recommend showing up early.
If you just want to skip streaming services and watch UFC 326 directly on your TV, several Canadian TV providers will be carrying it. You can follow the links below for information on how to order the event:
