Rematch Between Former Champions
The main card gets going tonight at 9 p.m. EST, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
“The main event of UFC 326 features two of the most exciting fighters we have ever been lucky enough to see compete in Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira,” said Alex Rella, Trading Manager, BetMGM.
“Fans don’t expect this rematch between two former champions to go the distance as our most popular props are Holloway to win by KO/TKO and Oliveira to win by submission. By the time the cage doors close, I expect our heaviest liability will be on Holloway to win in the last minute of the fifth round, given his patented (and epic) point downs once there is only 10 seconds left in a fight.”
