Charles Oliveira and Max Holloway Eye Rematch for BMF Title

Both Charles Oliveira and Max Holloway have expressed interest in facing each other for the BMF (Baddest Motherf***er) title, which could also serve as a potential number one contender slot.

This fight would mark a rematch of their bout that occurred a decade ago in the featherweight division. In that encounter, Max Holloway emerged victorious via TKO in the first round after Charles Oliveira sustained a shoulder injury. However, it is undeniable that Oliveira has transformed as a fighter since then. Over the past ten years, he has claimed the record for the most submission victories in UFC history and captured the lightweight championship of the world.

For Max Holloway, this fight presents the fastest route back to a title shot. In his last outing, he suffered a knockout loss to featherweight champion Ilia Topuria. With his prior success in the lightweight division, a clash with Oliveira is not only logical but also tantalising for fans.

The matchup raises an intriguing question: who has evolved more over the past decade? Holloway, known for his striking and durability, has consistently been among the top fighters in his weight class. Meanwhile, Oliveira, renowned for his grappling and relentless style, has cemented himself as one of the most dangerous fighters in the sport.

As both competitors stand at pivotal points in their careers, this rematch carries significant stakes. It offers Oliveira a chance to avenge his early loss and solidify his legacy, while providing Holloway with a path to redemption and another shot at gold.
