The Ultimate Fighting Championship is set to close out its numbered schedule for 2026 with UFC 335 on Dec. 12 in Las Vegas. Three marquee matchups have been announced for the card, and initial odds from BetOnline Sports & Casino, reported by Sherdog, have positioned several top-tier competitors as underdogs.
In the main event, Charles Oliveira will defend the BMF championship against Diego Lopes, who is stepping up for his UFC lightweight debut. Oliveira, a former lightweight champion who earned the BMF title in a dominant performance against Max Holloway, opened as a -172 favorite. Lopes, a two-time featherweight title challenger who bounced back in his last outing with a victory over Steve Garcia, opened as a +146 underdog.
The co-main event sees former two-division champion Alex Pereira matched up with Sergei Pavlovich in a heavyweight contest. Pavlovich opened as a -130 favorite against "Poatan," who enters as a +111 underdog. Pereira is looking to rebound after dropping his UFC heavyweight debut to Ciryl Gane at UFC Freedom 250.
Rounding out the announced trio of fights, a middleweight clash between Dana White’s Contender Series graduates features Joe Pyfer as a -130 favorite, while Bo Nickal opened as a +111 underdog.
