UFC 335 Main & Co-Main Events Announced
Revealed in an announcement on Saturday, UFC 335 on December 12th will feature Alex Pereira meeting Sergei Pavlovich in a 265-pound, 5-round co-main event, followed by Charles Oliveira attempting to defend his 155-pound “BMF” belt against Diego Lopes in the headliner.
Pereira is coming off one of his biggest career setbacks in his heavyweight debut loss to Ciryl Gane at UFC Freedom 250 back in June. Now, he will be seeking redemption at this unfamiliar weight class when he squares off with Pavlovich, who has won his last three matches, including a nasty knockout of Tallison Teixeira in May.
Oliveira earned the BMF title last March with an impressive unanimous decision victory over the veteran Max Holloway. This served as his second win since he welcomed Ilia Topuria to the lightweight division and met by a stiff set of punches that led to a knockout loss for the Brazilian. Lopes, who is making his 155-pound debut against Oliveira, overcame Steve Garcia with a strong finish in June, which helped him get things back on track after his loss in January to Alexander Volkanovski, his first and only shot at a UFC title.
UFC 335 is set to go down from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on December 12th. At this time, only eight fighters have been revealed for the event, but with some names seen on what will be the final ‘numbered’ card of 2026, it looks like the promotion is positioning to end things on a high note.
