Brunno Ferreira will attempt to author a repeat of a memorable Octagon debut at UFC 326.
After a proposed middleweight bout against Paulo Costa fell through for undisclosed reasons, “The Hulk” will lock horns with Gregory Rodrigues in a rematch on March 7 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Ferreira confirmed the pairing on social media following an initial report from Laerte Viana. UFC 326 is headlined by a BMF title tilt between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira and airs on Paramount+.
Brazilian Middleweights Surging
After earning a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series in September 2022, Ferreira faced Rodrigues in his first promotional foray at UFC 283, winning via knockout at the 4:13 mark of Round 1. The 33-year-old Curitiba, Brazil, native is 6-2 in UFC competition overall and is coming off a 3-0 campaign in 2025 that concluded with a decision triumph over Marvin Vettori.
Rodrigues, meanwhile, has been victorious in five of six Octagon appearances since falling to Ferreira. That stretch for “Robocop” features notable wins over the likes of Christian Leroy Duncan, Jack Hermansson and Roman Kopylov. The 33-year-old Brazilian boasts a 9-3 overall mark within the Las Vegas-based promotion.
