Oops! UFC social media account leaks Max Holloway vs. Charles Oliveira ‘BMF’ title fight for UFC 324, quickly deletes it

Someone might be getting fired.

On Saturday, UFC Brazil’s X account sent out a message to announce a lightweight matchup between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira for the “BMF” title at UFC 324 on Jan. 24 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The post was quickly deleted, but it was up long enough for the MMA community to take notice and start sharing.

Check it out below:

As you may have heard, UFC 324 will serve as the first major event of 2026 and the jumpstart to UFC’s broadcast partnership with Paramount+. An interim lightweight title fight between streaking English star Paddy Pimblett and veteran fan favorite Justin Gaethje is expected to headline. The matchup has caught some backlash, but the promotion has bolstered UFC 324’s main card with a co-main event between current women’s bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison and all-time great Amanda Nunes.

Of course, there’s always room for more if UFC wants to add a “BMF” title fight to help start the Paramount+ era off with a bang.

Holloway, who is no longer looking to compete at 145 pounds, is coming off a trilogy fight win over Dustin Poirier at UFC 318 this past July (highlights HERE). The former UFC featherweight champion looked better than ever in that fight and a big reason why is that he’s finally digging his heels in at 155 pounds and reshaping his body for the division. It will be interesting to see what Holloway can do as he starts meeting some of the best lightweights in the world (don’t forget he beat Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 as well).

As for Oliveira, he’s coming off a masterful submission win over lightweight contender Mateusz Gamrot at UFC Rio this past October (watch HERE). The aura seems to be back for “do Bronx” after going just 2-3 in his previous five Octagon appearances, but he’ll have to prove himself again in 2026. If that comes against Holloway then Oliveira will also have the opportunity to avenge a TKO loss to “Blessed” from all the way back in 2015.

We’ll have to wait and see if Saturday’s social media snafu was just a stupid mistake or if Holloway vs. Oliveira 2 is actually going down at UFC 324.
