Max Holloway revealed he is adamant about trying one thing when he steps into the octagon to defend his BMF title against Charles Oliveira in a rematch at UFC 326.
In 2015, Holloway and Oliveira met in the octagon for the first time and the Brazilian was unable to continue due to injury, leading to the first round stoppage.
Over the years, both fighters have evolved, and now Holloway, who proudly touts himself as the best fighter in the UFC, wants to force a tap out of ‘Do Bronxs’ at UFC 326. His coaches do not recommend this strategy, as Oliveira is widely considered the best submission artist in the game.
But to defend the BMF title in style, Holloway won’t just rely on his iconic point-down-to-the-canvas move for the final 10 seconds. Instead, he wants to submit the submitted artist. He said:
“My coaches are probably going to kill me if they see this. What BMF should do in this fight would be to submit the submission artist. A guy known for his submissions. That would be pretty BMF. But at the end of the day, never say never.”

On the other hand, Oliveira also prepares to stand and pop with ‘Blessed.’ ‘Do Bronxs’ was recently spotted getting ready for Holloway’s epic point-down-to-the-canvas moment.
Max Holloway once again has his sights set on Ilia Topuria
Max Holloway is looking to turn things around with Ilia Topuria, this time at lightweight, as he seeks revenge for his 2024 knockout loss to ‘El Matador’.
‘Blessed’ plans to beat Charles Oliveira and then fight Topuria. This time, when they fight, the Hawaiian wants to put his BMF belt and Topuria’s undisputed title on the table to end the debate. In an interview with UFC on TNT Sports he said:
“In a perfect world, we’ll go out and raise my hands in a very fashionable way. Do it in an unmistakable way, take a moment, go get Ilia, get the BMF and the undisputed title on the line. He talked about the latter at 145, but the title wasn’t on the line. You can’t be mad at me, be mad at the UFC.”
