Get ready for an epic rematch as Max Holloway, the BMF champion, gears up for his title defense against Charles Oliveira at UFC 326. But here's the twist: Holloway wants to beat Oliveira at his own game, and that game is submissions.
Max Holloway, with an impressive record of 27-8 in MMA and 23-8 in the UFC, has his eyes set on a unique victory. He earned his BMF title by delivering a last-second knockout to Justin Gaethje at UFC 300, and then successfully defended it against Dustin Poirier. Now, he's aiming to pull off an even more daring feat.
In a bold statement on his YouTube channel, Holloway said, "I want to submit a submission artist. That's the BMF way. A guy like Oliveira, known for his submissions, would make it an iconic moment. Never say never; if I can catch him in a submission, it would be a BMF moment indeed."
This rematch is a decade in the making, as Holloway previously defeated Oliveira by injury TKO in 2015. Now, they're set to face off again, and Holloway is ready to prove his point.
So, will Holloway pull off the unexpected and submit the submission artist? Or will Oliveira showcase his expertise and outmaneuver his opponent? The stage is set for an unforgettable battle at UFC 326.
