UFC 335 fight card: Charles Oliveira vs Diego Lopes, Alex Pereira vs Sergei Pavlovich confirmed
The UFC has announced a blockbuster lineup for UFC 335, with Charles Oliveira set to defend his BMF championship against Diego Lopes in the main event on December 12 in Las Vegas. The card will also feature a heavyweight showdown between Alex Pereira and Sergei Pavlovich, alongside several exciting matchups involving established UFC stars.
The event will take place at T-Mobile Arena, with Oliveira and Lopes headlining the UFC’s final numbered event of 2026. The main event is expected to attract significant attention as two aggressive fighters prepare to compete for the BMF title.
Oliveira will enter the contest as the reigning BMF champion after defeating Max Holloway at UFC 326. The former lightweight champion is known for his dangerous submission game, powerful striking and ability to finish fights from almost any position.
Lopes, meanwhile, will move up from featherweight to compete at lightweight. The Brazilian-born Mexican fighter has established himself as an exciting competitor and will have an opportunity to claim the BMF championship with a victory over Oliveira.
The co-main event will see Pereira face Pavlovich in a five-round heavyweight contest. Pereira, a former UFC middleweight and light heavyweight champion, will look to strengthen his position in the heavyweight division after falling short against Ciryl Gane in his previous heavyweight appearance.
Pavlovich presents a major challenge, having built his reputation as one of the division’s most dangerous knockout artists. The Russian heavyweight will aim to use his punching power and physical advantages to secure a significant victory.
The supporting card will feature Joe Pyfer against Bo Nickal in a middleweight contest, while former flyweight champion Brandon Moreno is scheduled to face Charles Johnson.
Quentin Pasley will also take on Junior Tafa in a light heavyweight matchup. The contest offers Pasley an opportunity to make an impression against an established UFC fighter.
