Conor
McGregor wasn’t impressed with Charles
Oliveira’s performance at
UFC 326.
Oliveira challenged Max Holloway for the BMF title in the main event at UFC 326 on Saturday in Las Vegas. While Holloway was a sizeable favoorite, Oliveira took the BMF champion down with ease in his very first attempt. Oliveira controlled Holloway on the ground for over 20 minutes, constantly threatening submissions, to earn a dominant unanimous decision win. While Holloway showed impressive submission defencs against a feared specialist, Oliveira was also apparently winning the striking battle.
However, McGregor wasn’t impressed with the fight overall. “Notorious” slammed Oliveira’s performance while also taking a dig at Daniel Cormier’s commentary.
“DC on Max on top ‘he should stall’ lol,” McGregor wrote in a since-deleted tweet on X. “He should have elbowed all the open targets. Payback. ‘Stall’ lol f—k off. Shockingly bad fight. I am shocked. Charles is a little Charlie ahahaha very bad Charles very bad. Hang your head bad. Good luck. Don’t crown that belt.”
The exact significance of the BMF title remains unclear The title was first made for a matchup between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz in 2019, where Masvidal won via doctor’s stoppage. The belt then remained vacant for years until Justin Gaethje defeated Dustin Poirier to win it in 2023. There was also a slight disagreement in the commentary booth regarding the fight. Daniel Cormier posed the question of whether a BMF title fight inherently means more of a striking bloodbath. However, Jon Anik defended Oliveira’s dominant win over Holloway.
