Max Holloway Aims to Submit Charles Oliveira at UFC 326
UFC BMF champion Max Holloway is looking to make a statement at UFC 326 by submitting Charles Oliveira, one of the most accomplished submission artists in MMA history. Holloway has expressed his admiration for Oliveira’s well-rounded skills, which include hurting opponents on the feet before dragging them to the mat and forcing the tap. Despite his coaches’ potential disapproval, Holloway is determined to add a submission win to his resume by tapping out Oliveira.
Holloway’s comments on Oliveira’s skills are a testament to the Brazilian’s versatility as a fighter. “I think he’s [Charles Oliveira] a BMF. I think it’s fitting for sure. A lot of people are making this fight into a striker versus grappler thing. They got it all wrong. This guy [Oliveira] even said it. He was a jiu-jitsu guy before, and now he’s an MMA guy. A lot of his submission wins have been coming from striking first. He’s hurting these guys on the feet, then he’s submitted them. That’s a pretty BMF thing to do. So, nothing but love for him,” Holloway said during media day.
Oliveira’s Preparation for the Fight
On the other hand, Charles Oliveira has been preparing to stand and trade recklessly with Holloway in the pocket, should the opportunity arise during the fight. Oliveira’s confidence in his striking abilities is evident, and he will likely look to test Holloway’s defenses in the stand-up. However, Holloway is not intimidated and is looking forward to the challenge. “It is what it is. I didn’t get to show too much of my submission skills in the Octagon, but that would be pretty BMF to go and submit the guy with the most submissions. That would be amazing. Charles can say whatever he wants. I can say whatever I want. Come Saturday night, we’ll find out. And that’s the beautiful thing about it,” Holloway added.
